Budget slow cooked beef

If you are looking for a really rich and meltingly soft beef dish, why not try BEEF CHEEKS? You can buy these from the butcher - and we estimate one cheek would weigh around 350g AFTER it's been cooked. That's a lot of rich meat - and one cheek was plenty for us to share. However we cooked two at the same time with the intention of making a pie and using some for sandwiches.
The flavour is much stronger than shin of beef, and as a result (we think) you'll find you can't eat quite as much. It's low enough in calories as it is, but because you can't scoff it down quickly (well, you might...), you should end up with a low calorie meal under 500 calories.
We served ours with creamy mashed potatoes and a selection of vegetables this time. If you fancy giving this a try, here's our fabulous recipe:  BEEF CHEEKS which we served with wild garlic GNOCCHI and celeriac mash, just a little more special (great if you're entertaining).
We began our weight loss journey in January 2011 - and began our blog in June 2011. Here's a link to the first post. (here's the link).

We like to post our main meals to show you what CAN be eaten. You won’t find us posting every last morsel though – but we hope this gives you an idea of how far calories can go! I'm currently going through the photographs and replacing them with more website friendly versions which will allow the blog to load quickly.
