Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef chuck or brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, sliced
- 2 pieces star anise
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 cups water
- 1 piece beef bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
Instructions
Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Return the beef to the pot and add the star anise. Pour soy sauce, water, and add the beef bouillon cube. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 60-90 minutes or until the beef is tender and the sauce is thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally and add more water if the liquid reduces too quickly.
Once the beef is tender, stir in erythritol and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed based on your taste preference.
In a separate pan, cook cauliflower rice on medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
To serve, place a generous portion of cauliflower rice on a plate, and top it with the beef pares. Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy your low carb beef pares!
