21 Day Fix Approved Low Calorie Beef Stew
I'm all about easy recipes to feed my crew and when they're this yummy, plus low in calories it's a defiant keeper. Give it a try and tell me what you think and hey, while you're at it why not share the recipe with a friend too! I'm making it to my goal weight 21 days at a time. Goal weight by 12/31/15!
RECIPE FOR THE 21 DAY FIX APPROVED LOW CALORIE BEEF STEW
INGREDIENTS:
To purchase the 21 Day Fix go to my site at www.coachdannon.com |
- 2 lbs stew beef
- 2 cups water
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire
- 3 Potatoes or sweet potatoes diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 Med onion diced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3 lg carrots diced
- 3 celery stalks chopped
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- dash cayenne pepper
COOK IT UP:
In a large stew pot brown meat in olive oil, add water, Worcestershire, garlic, bay leaf, salt, onion, black pepper, cayenne, and sugar cover and simmer 1 1.2 hours.
Remove bay leaf.
Add carrots and celery, cover and cook 30-40 minutes depending on how tender you like your vegetables.
To thicken gravy remove 2 cups of liquid. Using a separate bowel combine 1/4 cup water and corn starch until smooth. Return to pot. Stir and cook until bubbly.
**You can also make this in the crockpot just throw all the ingredients in and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Make sure you take the bay leaf out before you serve.** NOTE: I add low cal veggies towards the end of cooking to get a serving or two of vegetables in without adding a lot of calories. (green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, etc...).
