Ingredients
  

  • For the Family Pot Roast
  • 3-4 lb (1814 g) beef chuck roast
  • 1 lb (454 g) carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 2 lbs (907 g / 32 oz) potatoes, quartered
  • 8 oz (226.8 g) mushrooms, whole or halved
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water or beef broth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • For the Individual Keto Serving
  • 43 g (1.5 oz) heavy cream
  • 23 g (0.8 oz) cooked beef chuck roast
  • 12 g (0.4 oz) cooked carrots
  • 10.7 g (0.38 oz) / 2 tsp European-style butter
  • 11 g (0.39 oz) / 2 tsp walnut oil
  • For a deeper, richer flavor, sear the beef chuck roast on all sides in a hot, oiled skillet before placing it in the roasting pan.
  • Use the leftover pan drippings from the family's portion to create a delicious gravy. Simply whisk in a bit of flour or a cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened.
  • Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like celery or radishes to the main roast. Just be sure to weigh them accurately for your keto portion.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep! The keto portions can be pre-weighed and stored in separate containers for easy grab-and-go meals throughout the week.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place the beef chuck, carrots, onion, potato, and mushrooms into a large roasting pan or Dutch oven.
  3. Pour the water or broth into the bottom of the pan, just enough to cover it.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or heavy-duty foil and cook for 4 hours.
  6. Remove the cover and continue to cook for 1 more hour, allowing the meat and vegetables to brown nicely.
  7. Remove the roast from the oven.
  8. Before seasoning the main dish further, use a gram scale to carefully weigh out your keto portion: 23 g (0.81 oz) of cooked beef and 12 g (0.42 oz) of cooked carrots.
  9. Season the remaining pot roast in the pan to your family's preference with additional herbs, spices, or salt.
  10. To complete your keto meal, place your weighed beef and carrots in a small dish and top with the butter, allowing it to melt over the warm food.
  11. Mix the heavy cream with a small amount of water to create a keto-friendly “milk” to drink.
  12. Serve the walnut oil in a small cup to drink alongside your meal.
