Low Carb Philly Cheese Steak






















Who likes Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches?  I do!  But I also like quick and easy meals after work.  I'll let you in on my little secret to a quick and easy plate of goodness! And to keep it low carb, I'm fine with skipping the bread.  But if you just gotta have some bread, then Pinterest is your friend for finding a low carb bread recipe!



 Low Carb Philly Cheese Steak 

Servings 2


Ingredients:


1 Tablespoon butter
1/4 cup sliced onion
1 green bell pepper sliced
1/2 pound shaved deli roast beef
3/4 cups beef broth
1/4 teaspoon xanthum gum
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 slices provolone cheese


Directions:


In a medium skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced onion and green bell pepper slices.



Saute until the onions are transparent.



Meanwhile, slice the deli beef into strips.
Add the sliced beef to the pan along with the beef broth, xanthum gum.  Continue to stir and saute until the meat is heated through and the broth thickens into a gravy.





Add the 4 slices of provolone cheese on top and let it melt.



Slide half of it onto your plate and dig in!



....and that's What's Cooking at Cathy's ~ Enjoy!

Grilled Chicken Shepherd's Pie with Low Carb Cauliflower Colcannon

That's a mighty big name for this recipe and the recipe is somewhat detailed, but it is worth every ounce of effort.  Especially if you love shepherd's pie and are on a low carb eating plan.

I have to show you my newest kitchen gadget that I bought at the class this past week.  It chops garlic and make pretty quick work of 4 cloves!  I love it!  It is so easy and you pop it right into the dishwasher (top shelf for cleanup).  It looks like a cute little robot.


Since the sneak peek photo has some of you anxious for the recipe, I'll not spend a lot of time on an intro, other than this is a low carb version of a recipe I received in an authentic Irish cooking class this past week.  It was a fun class with several tasty dishes, but hands down this one was my favorite.  So much so that I had to alter it for low carb.  The dish we sampled was made with smoked chicken thighs and the smoky flavor came through the dish.  I had grilled chicken breasts in the fridge from earlier in the week that I chopped up and put into this dish.  I also substituted the peas with asparagus and added celery.

This was my first go at making mashed cauliflower.  Up until today, I've not been fan, but this dish has won me over.  

I hope you enjoy the recipe!
