You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes braised beef with aspic and marinated vegetables but it is obtainable. It is crucial to not eat braised beef with aspic and marinated vegetables or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 2000 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also believe it is helpful if you have professional support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Braised Beef with Aspic and Marinated Vegetables (Boeuf ? la Mode en Gel?e)

This is great for a summer brunch or buffet main course.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pounds beef rolled rump roast
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 envelope unflavored gelatine
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon
1 cup dry red wine
Marinated Vegetables

Heat oil in Dutch oven until hot. Cook beef over medium heat until brown on all sides; drain. Add 1/2 cup water; sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 325 degrees F until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate beef and broth separately at least 8 hours.

Sprinkle gelatine over 2 tablespoons water in saucepan; stir in bouillon and wine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until gelatine is dissolved. Remove from heat. Skim fat from broth; add enough cold water to broth to measure 1 cup. Stir into gelatine mixture. Place pan with gelatine mixture in bowl of ice and water; stir until mixture begins to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove string from beef; trim fat. Cut beef into very thin slices; arrange on large platter. Coat entire surface of beef with small amount of gelatin mixture. Pour any remaining mixture into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate beef and gelatine mixture no longer than 24 hours. Prepare Marinated Vegetables.

Arrange vegetables around beef. Cut aspic in loaf dish into small diamonds or squares; arrange around beef or serve separately.

Yields 10 to 12 servings.

1 (16 ounce) can whole onions, drained
2/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
