2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I’m a firm believer in using high-quality, measured components to ensure the best possible flavor and texture.
In this recipe, I’ve used 1.5 lbs thinly sliced beef, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Don’t skip the garlic and herbs, as they add a depth of flavor that’s essential to this dish.
