Beef, cooked slowly with onions, carrots and cabbage : Low carb


Slow Cooked Beef Casserole

For a lovely heart warming meal you just can't beat a nice slow cooked beef casserole.
This one has onion and carrot added with some salt, pepper, mixed herbs and beef stock.
Simply served with white cabbage. A truly tasty low carb meal...

For dessert why not have some lower carb fruit like blueberries, with some thick double (heavy) cream !

A satisfying low carb meal, and not a potato in sight!

Ingredients: Serves two
250/300 grams braising steak cut into small cubed pieces
1 large red onion chopped
1 large sliced carrot
1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs
salt and pepper to taste
Just under 1 pint of gravy stock

Easy Method
Clean, cut and place all ingredients in a casserole dish or earthenware oven proof pot with lid.

Pour over the stock and cook at 180c in an electric oven, or Mark 4 Gas Oven for 90 to 120 minutes.

Obviously ovens do differ so check food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Once you've enjoyed your casserole just serve up some low carb fruit - like blueberries and cream.

Bon Appetit!

All the best Jan

  8. I just might have to get out Mike's slow cooker and try it. It has been sitting in a cabinet for over 20 years, untouched by human hands. As a bachelor he says he used it all the time to prepare his supper while at work or overnight. It would certainly free me up these days to do more fun things even thought I do love to cook. And, imagine how wonderful the house would smell with something like this simmering away all day..........Thanks.

  10. Looks really tasty and it couldn't be easier. Next time we go birding on a cold winter's day I might get this going in a crock pot before we leave, ready to eat when we return.
