CarbsPerServing:17g carbs total
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 really big beef roast
(4-5lbs -or
whatever will fit into your
biggest pan)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup cooking oil4 cups water
2 teaspoons guar gum
2 tablespoons dehydrated
onion flakes
4 ounces sliced mushroom
— pieces are fine
additional salt and pepper
to taste

How to Prepare:
Mix salt, pepper and garlic
powder and rub into roast.
Let sit 10 minutes at
room temp. Heat oil in a big
pan. You want it hot - but not
smoking. Put in roast and
let brown well, over medium
heat, for about 5 minutes
per side or until
really browned nicely. Once
that’s done, Raise heat to
high and add water. Bring to
a good boil,
cover, reduce heat and
simmer for 2 hours -turn
roast every 1/2 hour so it
doesn’t dry out. Remove
roast from water and raise
heat. Add in mushrooms
and dried onion and
let boil for about 2 minutes.
(There should be about 3
cups liquid at this
point -you may want to skim
off some of the fat on top).
Mix guar gum with 1/2 cup
cold water and whisk into
the boiling gravy to
thicken. Allow to boil for 2
minutes.
Serve hot. NOTES : Counts
for guar gum not included -
adjust accordingly
