🛒 What You’ll Need
• 1 kg rump steak (cut into large cubes)
• 2 tbsp CarbSmart Beef & Chilli seasoning
• 2 tbsp beef tallow
• 150g onion (finely chopped)
• 4 tsp garlic paste (or 5–6 cloves, minced)
• 300ml beef stock
• 200ml red wine
• 4 tbsp Martinnaise Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 3 tbsp Colleen’s Homemade chilli sauce (to taste)
• 3 bay leaves
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 100 ml cream

👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1: Season the beef
Coat the beef cubes well with the beef and chilli seasoning.

Step 2: Brown the beef
Heat tallow in a large pan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until golden on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pan. Set aside.

Step 3: Cook the onions
In the same pan, add the onions. Cook until soft. Add a little more tallow if needed.

Step 4: Add garlic
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30–60 seconds.

Step 5: Build the sauce
Pour in the beef stock and red wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape up all the flavour from the bottom.

Step 6: Add flavour
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, chilli sauce, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

Step 7: Simmer
Return the beef to the pot. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Step 8: Reduce
Remove the lid and simmer for another 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Step 9: Finish
Stir in the cream and simmer until the sauce is rich and glossy.

Step 10: Serve
Serve hot. Best enjoyed with something to soak up the sauce.

💡 Tips from the Keto Kitchen
• Brown the beef properly for deeper flavour
• Do not skip the wine. It builds the base of the sauce
• Adjust chilli sauce to your heat preference
• Let the sauce reduce uncovered for the right thickness
• This tastes even better the next day
