Beef in Keto Recipes

When you go on a keto diet, there are many foods that are restricted because they are high in carbs. Indulgent foods such as bread, pasta, rice, and sugary treats are completely off limits if you want to stay in ketosis! But, there are still a wide variety of delicious foods that you can eat, one of my favorites being BEEF!

Beef is an abundant source of protein, fats, and nutrients like iron, while tasting amazing! The best part is that you can use it in so many ways! From classic recipes like hamburgers and sloppy joes, to unique meals like low-carb casseroles and creamy soups, there is a keto beef recipe to suit all of your needs and cravings! Just keep scrolling to take a look at 60 of my favorites for yourself!
