Boeuf Carottes

Boeuf Carottes is a classic French dish that combines tender beef with savory carrots in a rich, aromatic sauce. This low-carb version maintains the traditional flavors while substituting high-carb ingredients for healthier options.

Ingredients

• Beef chuck - 300 grams, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Carrots - 200 grams, sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Beef broth - 250 ml
• Red wine (optional) - 50 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh thyme - 2 sprigs
• Bay leaf - 1
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef pieces, browning them on all sides.
4. Once the beef is browned, add the sliced carrots, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
5. Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using), bringing the mixture to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 60 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
