Beef : Three Lower Carb Recipe Choices

Beef is a rich source of high-quality protein and various vitamins and minerals. As such, it can be an excellent component of a healthy diet. It contains all of the essential amino acids and is referred to as a complete protein.

I do include beef dishes in my menu plans and here are three popular lower carb beef dishes you may wish to try:-

Minced/Ground Beef and Tomato Bake with Cauliflower Topping

10g net carbs per serving
½ cauliflower
2/3 small yellow onions
2/3 carrots (not too large)
9 oz. (250g) cherry tomatoes
3 garlic cloves
14 oz. (400g) minced/ground beef
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil

Beef Chili

Approx. 8g carb per serving
2 lb lean ground (minced) beef (10% fat)

I hope you may enjoy a beef dish soon. However, if the weather is still hot where you live how about trying a summer salad, see here

Not for me. Himself likes beef though he eats a lot less of it than he once did.

During the summer months we love a good beef burger grilled to perfection, toppings can be melted cheese, sauteed onions, sauteed mushrooms ... oh goodness me, all kinds of fun ways to enjoy a burger. :-)

I have been mostly veggie for a long time but every now and then I have some beef or other meat because I also believe in varying what I eat. These recipes look really nice and I will be trying out the third one, which looks really interesting. Thanks for working so hard to find these nice recipes, they often inspire me.

Hello,

The beef and tomato without the cauliflower and the chili would be my favorites.
Thanks for sharing. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
