I have made this a few times now and it turns out great every time. Just thought I should give the recipe more exposure than it's getting in my journal. PS The low carb crepes posted with S_Hysmith's Chicken and Peach dish (http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=135967) go well with this.

SHREDDED BEEF
Recipe Number: 1066

www.RecipePark.com

2 lbs stew meat (chuck) I used about 3.5 lbs of bottom blade roast/steak
1 1/2 cups water I upped water to 2 cups since I had more meat
2 cloves garlic
2 t chili powder
1 t vinegar I used white wine vinegar
2 t oregano
1 t cumin
salt & pepper

Brown the beef in oil on all sides. Add all other ingredients, bring to boil, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours or longer till very tender (I simmered for 2 hours).

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.


This meat would be awesome in a 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! There would be many uses for it, I’m sure.. if there’s any left after eating it with the cream gravy!

I put some of this meat into LC crepes along with diced tomato, onion and cheddar. Put the crepes seamside down into a baking dish, topped with some diluted gravy and more cheddar and baked at 350 for 15 minutes.... Delish!

thanks for posting this, it sounds great.

Jeesh - it's been 3 hours since breakfast and now you have me salivating!! I'm going to have to try this recipe.

Right now I need to go find my snack.

Dear Jean,

This is exactly the recipe that I was looking for. I am going to fix it tonight for dinner for DH and myself. Looks delicious.

Dear Jean,

This was fabulous, thanks.

I did mine a little different, I had two small moose roasts in my freezer and used them instead of the stew meat. I also added more garlic (I love garlic) and 4 shallots. Because I was going to be decorating my house today, I decided to throw it into the slow cooker. I sprayed the inside of my slow cooker with Pam, added some beef broth and your ingredients and let it cook. What a wonderful meal.

Thanks again.

Carol
