Beef stew with lentils and carrot
Savoury beef stew with lentils for Phase 4: balanced maintenance, filling and rich in protein.
This beef stew with lentils and carrot is a complete meal from one pan. Lean beef stews slowly until butter-soft, while carrots add sweetness and brown lentils bind the sauce nicely and make it filling. With thyme and bay leaf, the whole thing gets a deep, savoury flavour that's moreish.
In Phase 4, the maintenance phase, it's about a pleasant balance between protein and carbohydrates, and this stew brings that together perfectly. The beef and lentils together deliver a hearty protein portion, whilst the lentils and carrots add slow carbohydrates and fibre that keep you satisfied for longer. So your protein-rich protein diet remains effortlessly enjoyable, with a generous serving of comfort on your plate.
Lovely with a spoonful of lean quark or yoghurt and some fresh parsley over the top. A fresh salad or steamed green vegetables alongside complete the plate.
