Now that we’ve gathered all our ingredients, let’s dive into how to make this mouthwatering lamb stew step by step.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

Step 1: Let’s start by infusing some flavor! Heat up 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in those diced onions, carrots, and celery, and let them sauté away for about 4 minutes until they’re nice and soft. Then, spoon this aromatic mix into the base of your slow cooker.

Step 2: Now, let’s give our lamb some TLC! Dust those lamb pieces with flour to give them a cozy coat. In that same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil, and let it get nice and warm. Then, in goes our lamb, sizzling and browning on all sides until it’s beautifully golden. It will just be seared on the outside, not cooked all the way through. Carefully transfer these golden nuggets of goodness into your waiting slow cooker.

Low Carb option

If you’re on a low-carb diet, feel free to skip dredging the lamb in flour.

And here’s a heads-up on tomato sauce: Tomatoes naturally contain sugars, with about 3 grams of net carbs per 3.5 ounces. Some tomato products, especially those with concentrated or thickened pureed tomatoes, can be high in carbs. Certain canned or jarred tomato sauces also include extra sugar in their recipes.

The Muir Glen sauce I’m using in this lamb stew recipe has no added sugar.

Step 3: It’s time to bring all the flavors together! Pour the broth, tomato sauce, and our blend of seasonings into the slow cooker with the lamb. Give it a good mix, ensuring every morsel of lamb is coated in that delicious sauce.

Optional Potato Addition:

At this time, you can add potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces to the slow cooker, if desired.

Step 4: Now, we wait… Cover up that slow cooker and let the magic happen on low heat for a blissful 7 hours. Trust me, it’ll be worth it!

Step 5: Ah, the final touch! About 30 minutes before your stew is ready, gently add in those Brussels sprouts. They’ll soak up all the savory goodness and add a pop of freshness to your meal.

And that’s it! Your easy dinner practically cooks itself! I love this hearty stew. Feel free to change it up according to your taste.

For example, instead of cooking Brussels sprouts in the stew, you can serve your stew alongside sautéed broccoli with garlic, peas, or sautéed green beans with bacon.

For dessert, consider pairing this savory dish with wild blueberry chia pudding.

More serving suggestions

Here are some serving suggestions to complement your lamb stew:

Serve stew with crusty gluten free rolls for dipping and sopping up the delicious broth
Pair the stew with a crisp side salad dressed with vinaigrette
Spoon the lamb stew over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, creamy cauliflower mash, or rice for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Pro tips and recipe notes

How do I adjust the recipe if I’m cooking for a larger or smaller group? Simply use the slider in the recipe card to adjust the quantities of ingredients.

Can I freeze the leftovers for later? Yes, you can freeze the leftovers for later. Allow the stew to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers or freezer bags. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I prepare this stew ahead of time and reheat it later? Absolutely! This stew actually tastes even better the next day. Prepare the stew as directed, then allow it to cool before refrigerating for up to 3-4 days.. When ready to serve, simply reheat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.

So there you have it! A hearty, gluten-free lamb stew. From my kitchen to yours, I hope this recipe brings as much warmth and joy to your home as it does to mine. Now, grab a spoon and dig in—good food is meant to be shared!
