Using lean steak mince you’re getting a good hit of protein, the organic butter gives you a dose of healthy fats and avoiding rice and grains makes this dinner low carb as well as delicious. The ‘rice’ is great, because it makes you feel like you’re fixing on carbs but with none of the negatives that go with it – eat as much as you like!
