How To Make Crock Pot Carnivore Beef Stew

1. Prep the meat: Cut the chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Season the beef shanks with the remaining salt.
2. Sear the beef: Heat a skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of tallow and sear the beef shanks, then the cubed roast. Sear in batches, adding more fat as needed.
3. Layer in the slow cooker: Place the beef shanks at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the seared beef cubes on top.
4. Add broth and cook: Pour bone broth over the meat. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours (up to 12), or on HIGH for 4–5 hours (up to 6), until meat is tender.

Recipe Tips

• What cut of beef is best? Beef shank and chuck roast are ideal for their rich flavor and tender results after long cooking.
• Can I add vegetables? To stay carnivore, skip the veggies—but if not strict, you can add onions or mushrooms.
• Do I have to sear the meat? It’s optional, but searing adds depth of flavor and better texture.
• What if I don’t have tallow? Use ghee, butter, or another high-heat cooking fat.
• How much salt should I use? Adjust to taste, but up to 1 tablespoon works well for this amount of meat.

What To Serve With Carnivore Beef Stew

For strict carnivore eaters, serve with:

1. Soft-boiled eggs
2. A side of seared liver or bacon
3. Bone marrow
4. Cheese crisps
5. Carnivore bread or egg loaf
