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.
