2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
The key to this recipe is using high-quality ingredients.
I recommend using ground lamb instead of beef for a more authentic flavor.
The frozen peas and carrots add a burst of color and sweetness, while the beef broth and tomato paste add depth and umami flavor.
Don’t forget to use plenty of thyme and black pepper for added aroma and heat!
