A high-protein, easy-to-make dinner using a slow cooker, perfect for meal prepping.

  • Total Time: 495 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Lean beef (Chuck roast or brisket works well)
  • 3 Carrots (Chopped; can substitute with parsnips)
  • 4 Potatoes (Use Yukon gold or red potatoes; avoid russet for better texture)
  • 1 head Cabbage (Green or Savoy cabbage for added flavor)
  • 4 cups Beef broth (Low-sodium is recommended)

Instructions

  1. Chop the vegetables, including carrots and potatoes, and cut the cabbage into wedges.
  2. Rub the lean beef with your choice of spices, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Notes

For better flavor, sear the beef before placing it in the slow cooker. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the beef cuts. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef reaches at least 145°F.
