Ispired by an old family recipe - I created this keto pot roast to be fast and easy by using my Instant Pot. You can also use a regular pressure cooker.In the end, you'll have a tenderized roast with a rich, decadent sauce. All low-carb and keto-friendly. Plus, cooking the meat in the pressure cooker gelatanizes the fats making them easier for your body to digest. Bonus points to you!

Ingredients

3-4 Pounds boneless beef arm or chuck roast
2 Tablespoons MCT oil
1 onion quartered
1 cup mushrooms rinsed & quartered or handful of dried mushrooms
4 garlic cloves peeled
2 bay leaves
1 cup beef bone broth
2 teaspoons liquid aminos or coconut aminos
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In Pressure Cooker, add 2 tablespoons MCT oil and preheat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the roast to the pan and allow to sear for about 2 minutes. Then flip and repeat.
Add beef broth, onion, mushrooms, garlic cloves, bay leaves and liquid aminos to the pot.
Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure. Cook for 55 minutes.
Allow pressure cooker to release steam naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure, allowing the steam to release away from you.
Transfer your roast to a carving board and tent with aluminum foil. Allow roast to rest for 20 minutes while you make the sauce.

Sauce:

In the Pressure Cooker, use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables until smooth. This will take 2-3 minutes. Finally, blend in ¼ tsp of xanthan gum to thicken the sauce. If the sauce isn't thick enough, add more xanthan gum a pinch at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
You can take this and make it into a hearty & satisfying stew that freezes well.

Beef & Rice Stew

Bring Sauce back to a simmer and add in 1 package of cauliflower rice. Simmer for 5 minutes or until cauliflower rice is cooked through.
In the meantime, shred the cooked beef, discarding fat.
Once cauliflower rice is cooked, add the beef to the pot and stir together.

Notes

Note: Nutrition facts are provided as estimates only. In this scenario, we used a 3lb beef chuck roast.

You can use other keto-friendly thickeners in the place of xanthan gum including guar gum, tara gum, or glucomannan. Use the conversion guide on the bag where it should tell you how much to use to thicken the liquid. Always start with a little and work up.
