BEEF, LAMB AND VEAL MEALS

 

Crock Pot Ribs or Chops Effort: Easy

Ingredients:

6 or 8 chops or ribs to fill crock pot 1/4 c. onion, chopped

1/2 c. celery, chopped 1 c. catsup

1/2 c. water 1/4 c. lemon juice2 tbsp. brown sugar substitute

3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp. vinegar

1 tbsp. mustard 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper

How to Prepare:

Mix all together and pour over meat in crock pot. Cook on low 6 8

hours

 

LAMB WRAPPED IN GRAPE LEAVES Serves:15+ CarbsPerServing:3 - 5 (1 carb per wrapped leaf)

Prep Time:1 1/2 - 2 hours Effort: Average

Ingredients:

1 whole leg of ground lamb *or extremely lean red meat*

1/2 cup of pine nuts

Amt of all spice (whole) to liking (minimal amt)

*you can choose to alter what you put in your lamb filler*

Water

lemon juice

tiny can of tomato sauce.

How to Prepare:

You have to estimate the amt of filling for the leaves because of

the varying sizes. DO NOT overstuff the leaves.

Layer and tightly lay the wrapped grape leaves in your pot. Lemon

juice and tomato in pot and THEN add just enough water to cover the

grape leaves. You want then to make sure that you have a plate or

something heavy to keep the grape leaves from floating around. If

they float at all then they will unwrap and you wont have Lamb in

Grape Leaves.

SIMMER ! NOT BOIL

Takes about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Just test for the leaves to be cooked.

Carb count per leave minus the dietary fiber is .6 carbs.

Pine nuts are only 4 carbs per 1/2 cup. So they are not even

measurable unless you eat the whole pot LOL.

Meatloaf Serves:4 CarbsPerServing:7

Prep Time:30-min Effort: Average

Ingredients:

1-loaf pan 1-lb ground beef (or turkey or chicken)

1-med onion (chopped finely)

12-mushrooms (or around that; chopped finely, like onion/NOT sliced))

3-5 cloves of garlic (or less, if you're a wimp! crushed/chopped finely )

2-3 TBS chopped parlsey1-egg

1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)

1-cup bread crumbs (or substitute; I use Keto Crumbs but you could

also just use less broth and more mushrooms/onion)

1/2-cup olive oil (you can use more if you'd like)

1-tsp salt (or 1-TBS soy sauce)

1/2-tsp black pepper

How to Prepare:

I make a wonderful meatloaf that can pass for a meatball-flavored

meal. You can slice it up and serve it with brown gravy and

vegetables or top with melted mozzarella and marinara sauce or break

it up into pieces and make into a beef stroganoff or however else

you feel like being creative...It's a great thing to have around for

lunches or dinners. You can even freeze slices and have whenever you

feel like it. BTW-I think this is the best meatloaf I've ever had,

not like the traditional at all.

First, pre-heat oven for 375-degrees. Next, sauté all the mushrooms,

onion, garlic, and parsley in a pan with the olive oil. Don't let it

burn (garlic tastes yucky when burnt). When the onions are soft,

remove from heat to let cool down. In a large bowl, add meat, egg,

bread crumbs (or substitute), chicken broth (or water), salt (or soy

sauce), and pepper. When the sautéed mixture has cooled enough, add

it to the bowl and mix all ingredients (with very clean hands or

proper mixer) until everything is well-combined. Now, put mixture

into loaf pan (NO need to oil/grease pan as there is plenty of fat

already in the mixture from the olive oil). Put into the oven and

bake for 45-minutes. Voila! Now, you have a delicious, low-carb

meatloaf (that tastes sort of like a meatball) that you can serve up

all sorts of ways. Slice loaf into ten slices. There are about 3-gm

of carbs per each slice (or 30-gm carbs/loaf). Enjoy!

 

Steak with Pate and Cheese Serves:2 CarbsPerServing:2-4 (depending on pate and cheese)

Prep Time:15 mins Effort: Easy

Ingredients:

2 x thinly sliced Beefsteak

1-2oz Ardennes or Brussels pâté Thinly-sliced Cheddar or other mild

cheese

How to Prepare:

Fry the steak until it's cooked as much as you want (I prefer well

done) then remove from pan, spread a thin layer of pate over the

cooked steak and top with cheese. Place under the grill until cheese

bubbles. Yum. You can also fry some onion with the steak and put it

between the pate and the cheese.

 

Ropas Viejas Serves:4 CarbsPerServing:See note

Prep Time:5 hours Effort: Easy

Ingredients:

3-4 lb beef roast, cut up 1 med onion, sliced (10g)

1/2 red bell pepper, sliced(4g) 1 sm. can tomato paste (60g)***SEE NOTE BELOW***

1 can beef broth 1 tsp sweetener (1g)

2 DASHES Cinnamon 2-3 tsp cumin (1g)

Salt/Pepper to taste oil or lard

How to Prepare:

***FIRST!! Don't panic about the number of carbs! MOST of them will

remain in the crockpot in the sauce.

Get out your crock pot and heat it.

Prepare the tomato paste by mixing well with a small amount of water

to tomato sauce consistency.

In a large skillet, heat the oil or lard, brown the meat. Place the

meat, onion, bell pepper, tomato paste and seasonings in the

crockpot. Cook until the meat is fork tender (usually about 4-5

hours).

Remove from sauce w/a slotted spoon, making sure to let as much of

the sauce as possible drain. Place in a bowl or on a plate and pull

to shreds with the back of a fork.

Serve on a lo carb tortilla or on a bed of lettuce. Side with pico di

gallo, sour cream, if you wish.

TOTAL RECIPE CARB COUNTS: 76g--remember, most is left in the crock

pot!

You may choose to use tomato SAUCE instead of paste for a carb count

of 8.8g/HALF cup

seeds

*tsp whole allspice

4 beef tenderloin steaks --

top loin or sirloin - 1" thickkosher salt -- to taste

2 tablespoons butter

*cup brandy

1 *cup beef stock

How to Prepare:

Combine all the

peppercorns and seeds.

To crush: place them in a

clean kitchen towel &

partly coarse and partly fine.

(You can also use a mortar

& pestle or a coffee grinder

--- just pulse

til the correct consistency.)

With your hands, press the

pepper mixture into both

sides of the steaks

and then sprinkle them with

the salt.

Heat a large, heavy-based

skillet (preferably cast iron)

over

medium-high heat for a few

minutes.

turns brown, add the

steaks, making sure

not to crowd the pan.

Cook them, turning often,

Set a steak on each of four

dinner plates and keep

them in a warm oven.

Pour the brandy into the pan

brown bits that cling to it.

Pour in the stock

mixture bubble steadily until

it reduces to

1 pound ground beef

1 egg

4 ounces bleu cheese --

crumbled

How to Prepare:

This will generate a lot of

First, we'll make the blue

cheese sauce. Combine

the sour cream, a little

pepper, and the vinegars

into a bowl. Beat until mixed

well. Then, when

smooth, mix in the blue

cheese. Return to the fridge

while we make the

burgers.

Mix the egg into the ground

beef and form patties. Heat

a skillet until

SMOKIN hot (Cast iron is

best here). Sprinkle a

liberal amount of pepper

into the bottom. Then drop

on the hamburger patties.

Blacken the burgers

- they should be dark and

crusty on the outside while

still a touch pink

in the middle.

Now spoon the sauce onto

the burgers and enjoy.
