Italian Style Shredded Beef

Recipe submitted by DaVita renal dietitian Connie from Virginia.

Old-fashioned, slow-simmered comfort food is a great way to describe this recipe for Italian Style Shredded Beef, by DaVita renal dietitian, Connie from Virginia. Economical rump roast is rendered melt-in-your-mouth tender by slow cooking in a crock pot. Onion, bay leaf, garlic and red wine robustly flavor the meat and gravy-juices. Serve hot on hard rolls, or pair with veggie sides for a complete, dialysis-friendly meal.

Helpful Hints

• Substitute fresh onion and garlic with 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Fresh gives a better flavor, however.
• Portion leftover Italian Style Shredded Beef into 3-ounce servings, store in freezer bags and freeze for a quick, easy meal at a later time.
• For a lower-protein diet, reduce meat portion according to your diet plan or consult with your dietitian.

We made this for a protein days tasting in the unit and served it in little medicine cups. Easy-could put in crock pot and let cook all day. Patients liked it.

This was really tasty. The sauce it makes is a little different. Not at all like a gravy. I'm gonna try thickening it up when I reheat with a little cornstarch. I will for sure make this again.
