I know! I know! It's has been forever since my last post. I can blame it on work & being busy, which is true.. But I have to admit I have also been lazy & the last new recipe I made wasn't that great.. But!! I am trying to work on balance with work, social life & fitness.. so hopefully, I can get out of this funk and start doing what I enjoy again!! This is such a great recipe for a cold night and is packed with healthy items!!!
1/2 lb lean sirloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tbsp all- purpose flour (I used almond flour)
1 14.5 oz reduced sodium beef broth
4 small red potatoes, quartered
12 baby carrots
10 cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1 cup green beans, ends trimmed
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Serve with a whole grain roll or wedge of whole wheat bread
How to cook it:
- Combine the beef and flour in a large saucepan & stir, coating the beef with the flour (this helps create a thick, savory gravy)
- Add the remaining ingredients & set the pan over high heat
- Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium & simmer for 10 min.
- Stir frequently until the beef is cooked through and the potatoes are for tender.

CrockPot Style (This is how I cooked this evening)
- Pour the almond flour on the steak and throw in crock pot
- Pour in the broth
- Add the veggies, little bit of salt, black pepper
- I also added, red pepper, minced garlic, garlic powder, minced onion, onion powder and a herb and garlic concoction I got at the market
- Cook on low if you will be gone all day or on high for 3 hours..
Enjoy!!
The healthy benefits of this meal:
