Ingredients

  • 900 gms – 2 lbs. beef chuck steak trimmed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic infused olive oil
  • 2 tbsp green onion tops green part only, sliced
  • 500 gms – 1 lb. tomatoes tinned
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 big carrots cut in big chunks
  • 3 big potatoes cut in 6 pieces
  • Water as required
  • Salt to taste
  • Parsley chopped

Instructions

  1. In a pot, sautee the spring onion tops with the extra virgin olive oil and the garlic infused oil.
  2. Add the beef and brown it well on all sides.
  3. Add the tinned tomato paste, bay leaf, salt, and enough water to cover the meat. Mix well. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 2 hours.
  4. Add the cut carrots and potatoes, and more water, if required.
  5. Cover and simmer until the carrots, the potatoes and the meat are tender.

  6. Add the chopped parsley and serve warm with (low fodmap) bread or polenta.

Recipe Notes

If not on the low fodmap diet, you can use 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 chopped garlic clove instead of the 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil + 1 tablespoon of garlic infused oil. You can also substitute the spring onion tops with 3 tablespoons of chopped onion.

If you are on the low fodmap diet, remember that 1 slice of regular bread is still low fodmap. However, I like to eat 100% spelt sourdough, so I can enjoy a bit extra.
