Oxtail stifado is a low carbohydrate / keto friendly food item.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Keto Oxtail Stifado is a Greek-inspired stew that uses oxtail as the main meat. This rich and flavorful dish is adapted to fit the ketogenic diet, emphasizing higher fats and low carbs.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

  • 2 lbs oxtail pieces, bone-in
  • 2 cups of canned tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup red wine (choose a dry variety)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation[edit | edit source]

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oxtail pieces and brown on all sides.
  2. Once browned, remove the oxtail and set aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add the garlic, cinnamon, oregano, and cloves to the onions and stir well.
  4. Return the oxtail pieces to the pot and pour in the red wine. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes and bay leaves to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the oxtail is tender and the stew thickens.
  7. Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Serving Suggestions[edit | edit source]

  • Serve the stifado hot with a side of cauliflower rice or Keto bread for a full meal.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or feta cheese crumbles for added flavor.
