Instructions
Instructions are for 6 servings. Please modify as needed.
Mix the butter and paprika powder thoroughly in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside for later.
Heat half of the olive oil in a Dutch oven or a large cast-iron skillet with a thick bottom over medium-high heat.
Fry the meat in batches until well seared. Season generously with salt and pepper. When the last batch of meat is golden brown, remove from the pan and put to the side for later.
Add the carrots, onion, and garlic to the pan used for the meat, and add the remaining oil. Fry for a minute or two.
Add the meat back into the pan together with tamari, whipping cream, water, and spices. Bring the stew to a boil.
Put on the lid, lower to medium-low heat and let simmer for 1.5 hours. Stir every once in a while.
Fry the celery root in butter in a separate skillet until golden. Add the celery root to the simmering stew when there are approximately 15-20 minutes of cooking time remaining.
Serve the stew with the paprika butter.
Tip
Like most stews, this recipe works well in a slow-cooker. Follow the recipe as written, up until step 6; at that point, put everything in your slow cooker except the celery root and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Fry and add the celery root toward the end of the cooking time, as directed in the last step.

Hi, If I leave out the celeriac from this recipe would the carb count become more ketogenic that moderate?

Yes, that would help, but you would need to replace it with something as 1 1/3 lb is quite a bit of bulk.

Can you suggest a substitute for the dried juniper berries?

Try adding small or halved radishes in place of celery root. Radishes never quite become tender and I think they are tolerable in texture if cooked a long time. I'd add them with the meat and not cook them separately. If making a roast, in the slow cooker, add them at the bottom and the roast on top. This is the only way I can handle they not quite cooked texture. Whatever is placed on the bottom, cooks the most.

Also I'm pretty sure one should not add cream to a slow cooker until the food is done. It should only be added long enough to warm through. So do beware of it curdling.
Just leave out the berries if you don't have or want them. They are not for recipe structure but are only for flavoring profile.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes.
I saute flank steak using the saute setting on my instapot. Set meat aside, add the onion & carrot until tender. Return meat to pot, add remaining ingredients except cream & celeriac, throw in some thyme sprigs & bouillon. While cooking for 15 minutes on "stew" setting, fry the celeriac in ghee until golden. Quick release after the 15 minutes, add celeriac to instapot, cook for 5 minutes. Quick release 10 minutes after instapot is finished cooking, add the cream, remove thyme sprigs.
So delicious!
