Nutritious Beef and Radish Soup for Your Ketogenic Diet
When following a ketogenic diet, it’s crucial to stay hydrated and ensure adequate salt intake. This delicious Beef and Radish Soup is a perfect way to meet both these needs. Its deep, savory broth, tender beef, and crisp radish create a satisfying and hearty meal.
Main Ingredients- Beef (for soup, e.g., brisket or chuck)
- Daikon Radish
- Green Onion
- Minced Garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by placing the beef in a pot and stir-frying it over medium-high heat. Once the beef has released some of its fat, add the sliced radish and continue to stir-fry them together. Don’t discard the rendered beef fat; it will add a rich and deep flavor to the soup.
Step 2
As the beef and radish stir-fry, the radish will absorb the savory juices and fat from the beef, infusing it with a wonderful beefy flavor. This step is key to developing the soup’s deep umami taste.
Step 3
Once the ingredients are lightly browned, pour in enough water to cover them, approximately double the volume of the ingredients. Adding enough liquid ensures the soup doesn’t dry out during simmering.
Step 4
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat with the lid off. Once it’s boiling vigorously, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows the radish to soften beautifully and the flavors to meld.
Step 5
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and add the chopped green onions and minced garlic. Minced garlic will enhance the broth’s aroma and flavor, while green onions add a refreshing element.
Step 6
Finally, taste the broth and season with salt as needed. A slightly salty broth is perfect for enjoying with rice. Simmer for another 3 minutes after seasoning, then turn off the heat.
Step 7
Ladle the tender beef and radish into a bowl, then pour over the hot, savory broth. Your delicious Beef and Radish Soup is ready to be enjoyed! The steaming broth and generous toppings look incredibly appetizing.
Step 8
Experience the delightful combination of the slightly crisp yet tender, sweet radish and the meltingly soft, savory beef, all brought together by the warm, comforting broth. This Beef and Radish Soup is a truly satisfying dish that will have you reaching for seconds!
