Method
Trim every trace of visible fat from the round steak and cut it into four equal-sized portions.
Place the steak portions into the bottom of the crockpot.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and diced onions over the top of the meat.
Season the meat and vegetables with sea salt and black pepper.
Pour the diced tomatoes (including the juice) and the beef broth over the meat.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours (or high for 3 to 4 hours) until the beef is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Serve each portion with the tomato and onion sauce from the pot.
Notes
Ensure your canned tomatoes have no added sugar or oil by checking the ingredient label carefully.
Trimming the fat is the most important part of keeping this recipe HCG Phase 2 compliant.
If the sauce is too thin, you can take a few of the tomatoes and mash them against the side of the pot to thicken the liquid.
Double the batch and freeze individual portions for easy meal prep during your diet cycle.
