Have a lot do beef for the slow cooker but am all at sea trying to think how I want to cook it in my slow cooker without the carbs! Recipes welcomed .....

Surely the only carbs you'd normally put in are potatoes (if you use them) and carrots? I would have thought beef, onions, an oxo cube and celery would be low carb?

Replace the onions with shallots and that will lower your carbs significantly. Celery is fine, and a small amount of carrot will also be OK.

Avoid using flour, so make sure you don't put a lot of liquid in.

And use a higher fat cut of beef like shin, as this won't go dry.

Avoid anything labelled 'lean', and if your supermarket labels the meat properly, avoid 'braising' and go for 'stewing' - this will be fattier.
