5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Slow-Roasted Keto Beef Brisket with Garlic Herb Rub
Description: A deeply satisfying oven-roasted brisket coated in a sugar-free spice rub of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, slow-cooked until fork-tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Pairs perfectly with a simple low-carb side of roasted asparagus tossed in Kerrygold butter.
Sale items used: Whole Beef Brisket ($2.99/lb), Asparagus ($2.99/lb), Kerrygold Butter ($3.49)
Prep time: 20 minutes active (plus 4-6 hours cook time)

Tuesday
Meal: Dry Rub Baked Pork Back Ribs
