Step 2
To make roast beef suitable for a diet, fry it in a little hot oil. In order to fry a 250 gram steak, half a tablespoon of vegetable or butter is enough. If you are afraid that the meat will not be tender enough, marinate it before cooking. Do not use ready-made mixtures, as you cannot control their composition.
Step 3
Cook boiled beef with vegetables and spices. Take a large, deep saucepan. Rinse the meat, put in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer over high heat and, once simmer, reduce to medium. Skim off the foam. Place on 1 kg of meat 2 peeled carrots, 1 onion, a couple of leeks, a celery stick, bay leaf and a few thyme sprigs. In a special bag or strainer for spices, dip a few anise stars, a couple of cloves, 5-6 peppercorns into the broth. If you don't have a bag or strainer, just put the spices in the broth, but then don't forget to strain the broth. Cook the beef for about 2 hours, until the piece of meat is free to pierce with a knife. Beef should be covered with broth all the time, do not forget to add hot water.
Step 4
Serve the boiled beef with sauce and vegetables. Such cold meat is well suited for vegetable salads, sandwiches on whole grain bread.
Step 5
Sear small pieces of beef in olive oil until golden brown if you want to make a stew. Boil the chopped celery stalk and also the chopped carrots in a saucepan.

To thicken the sauce, dissolve a tablespoon of cornstarch in ¼ cup water and add to the meat and vegetables. Warm everything together, stirring, for another 3-5 minutes.
