15-minute Fat-Free Beef Curry
I’m doing another round of the fabulous Changing Habits 4-Phase Fat Elimination Protocol and in Phase Two I eat totally fat-free. If you’ve ever done the protocol, you’ll know how good something other than steamed meat and veg can taste, LOL! This lunchtime I fancied a wee beef curry.
I was in the middle of gardening and didn’t want to spend too much time cooking, so I took my allocated foods and transformed them into this curry. It’s quite good, quite fast and should you not be on the Protocol you can add some oil if you like š
My chosen vegetable today was asparagus which I cooked in the simmering basket while my curry was cooking, and made the most of my Thermomix and my electricity. I cut it into 3-cm lengths and it came out perfectly. You could cook any other vegetable instead, Protocol or not; just prepare it so it will cook in 10 minutes. For added variety, I served some of it in Little Gem lettuce boats: no carbs; no forks; just delicious!
So here we have my latest fast and easy Thermomix recipe for a 15-minute Fat-Free Beef Curry. Enjoy!
