Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450g) ground sirloin or ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp (5g / 0.18 oz) sea salt
  • ½ tsp (1g / 0.04 oz) ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp (1.5g / 0.05 oz) onion powder
  • ½ cup (120ml / 4.1 fl oz) beef stock or bone broth
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) reduced-sugar ketchup
  • 1 (14.5 oz / 411g) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 4 oz (115g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced lengthwise and quartered
  • ½ cup (75g / 2.65 oz) pearl onions
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • This ragout is incredibly versatile. Serve it over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or roasted cabbage steaks for a delicious low-carb meal.
  • Double the batch and freeze half for a quick weeknight dinner. Allow it to cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Place a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Once hot, add the ground sirloin, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Use a spatula to break up the meat and cook until it is completely browned, approximately 7 minutes.
  4. Stir the beef stock and ketchup into the browned meat.
  5. Add the drained tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, zucchini, pearl onions, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the ragout to simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Before serving, be sure to find and remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
