One great ketogenic ingredient available in Australia is Bighead “No carb” lager. One of our admins contacted the brewery , “Burleigh Brewery” and they told us that they have developed a yeast that is able to continue to consume glucose and turn it into alcohol well after most other yeasts give up.
Burleigh Brewery “Bighead lager”
You know what goes well with beer? BEEF. And Costco is currently selling Bolar roasts, which is a cut from the fatty shoulder of a cow. There is a seam of gristle through it and the meat is tough unless you cook it for a long time.
But look at the price. It’s around AUD $11 per kilo (US$3.8/lb) – we usually have 100g per plate so for us that’s AUD $1.10 per plate plus low carb vegetables – that’s a very cheap meal.

- 3.5 kg Bolar beef roast
- 660 ml Bighead "No carb" beer
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 cups water or enough to cover the meat
Ingredients
|
|
- Slice the bolar roast into roughly 2" cubes of meat
- Get a pan smoking hot, put chunks of beef fat cap down to render out the fat and then caramelize all surfaces.
- Add 2 bottles of beer to a slow cooker, and bay leaves (we also added some lemon thyme to this batch). Add seared meat and cover with water.
- Cook for about 10 hours or until so tender that you can "carve" the meat with a fork.
- Pull all the meat into fibres so that they soak up the liquid which is where the real flavour is.
