Chuck roast is a go-to for slow cooking keto chipotle bowl beef. In many cases, grocery stores will have stew meat available in packages as well. When making this recipe, you want to start with a good chuck roast. Luckily, its available almost everywhere in the US! Be sure to trim the fat off as much as you can.
