| Shredded Beef
2-3 lbs stew meat, roast, or
whatever beef you choose Brown the beef in oil on all sides. Add all other ingredients, bring to boil, cover and simmer 1 1/2 -2 hours or longer till very tender. Uncover and boil until liquid almost evaporated. (I couldn't waste the lovely stock, so took meat out and just reduced broth a bit, then wisked in some heavy cream and a tiny bit of guar gum to thicken.) With 2 forks, shred the meat. Serves 4 @ 2.2 carbs, 1 fiber (1.2 NET carbs), 483 Calories, 36 fat, 36 protein. The beef is great in a LC tortilla with salsa and sour cream, over top of "faux" potatoes, as a stew base (add veggies) or as the protein in a Mexican-type salad with greens, cheddar, onion, a bit of salsa and sour cream… avocado too! |
