Beef Stew with Sauerkraut

The beef together with sauerkraut is the perfect combination for me. And pieces of dried plums with it, that's the heaven in mouth. Prepare this delicious beef stew with sauerkraut for lunch and enjoy it as well.

Beef is a great source of protein, iron and zinc and contains a low amount of fat compared to pork. Healthy diet menu should not lack it, from time to time. In my fit recipes I use lean beef, such as fillet, sirloin or a rump. In this particular recipe I used the rump.

Perhaps we don't need to talk about health benefits of sauerkraut. Cooked sauerkraut is better digestible and retains enough of fiber, vitamins and minerals, despite the heat treatment, and helps to create the right microflora in the bowels. However, be careful if you have histamine intolerance, in this case it will not be the best choice for you.

The recipe also offers proper nutritional values, it contains only 290 kcal and 31g of protein per serving. Meal can be served alone, with whole-wheat pastry, homemade whole-wheat dumpling or other favorite side dish.

Great tip for healthy weekend lunch, don't you say?
