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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the beef is tender, stir in erythritol and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed based on your taste preference.

Step 6

In a separate pan, cook cauliflower rice on medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

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!
