We have been trying to eat meals that are lower in carbs. I found a tasty recipe for beef brisket that I've adjusted a bit, that has been a real hit.
Buy a small beef brisket (two pounds or less) and cut off all the fat. Spray a 13 x 9 metal cooking pan with Pam and set the brisket in the pan. Sprinkle the brisket with a 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and grind fresh black pepper over it, to taste. Put two to three teaspoons of minced garlic into the pan, along with two bay leaves. Slice two large onions into rings and cover the brisket with the onions. Then, pour 3/4 cup of red wine over the onions and beef. Cover the pan with foil and bake for five to six hours or until very tender, at 300 degrees F.
When you are ready to serve, remove the brisket to a plate and keep it warm. Lift all the onions out of the pan, and puree them in a blender. Return the onions to the wine and juice in the pan and blend them for a wonderful sauce. Cut the brisket into slices across the grain. We served roasted potatoes and baked apples, although garlic mashed potatoes would be wonderful (if higher carb) addition to it.

I am going to show Natty this one. I assume that you came up with the whole recipe, so we ought to name it after you...
Hmmm
"Beef that makes you go 'Arrrgh!'"?
I think not!
What do you call this delightful sounding concoction?

Desiree, try the recipes at the Diabetic sites. There are some really good ones out there that are low carb, low fat.
Mad Bull....this is a variation on a family recipe. I saw it at a diabetic recipe site, and they were the ones who suggested the wine. If they don't mind, we could call it "Boeuf Buffy" :-)
