Description

Veggie packed mexican beef skillet that comes together in no time! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb ground beef, I used grass-fed
  • 8 oz white mushrooms, thinly sliced 
  • 1 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise then sliced into half moon pieces
  • 1 green pepper, cut into slices
  • 1/2 small sweet onion, cut into slices
  • 1 cup salsa of your choice (I used a medium heat one)
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt + Pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat up a 12 inch pan on medium-high heat.  Once hot, add in a drizzle of avocado oil then add in the onion and green pepper.  Season with a nice sprinkle of Salt and Pepper and cook for 7-9 minutes tossing often. Remove from pan once cooked.
  2. Add in another drizzle of oil and throw in the ground beef and brown. Add in 1 tsp of salt and a nice sprinkle of pepper. Remove from pan once browned and remove the fat in the pan leaving about a tbsp in the pan.
  3. Add in the zucchini and mushrooms and season with a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Saute for 5-7 minutes. 
  4. Now add the beef, onion, and pepper back to the pan and give it a nice toss. Add in the salsa and mix up. Reduce heat to a simmer and let the flavors come together for a few minutes then enjoy!

Here are my top tips to reverse searing a steak:
• Use a meat tenderizer to ensure optimal texture and salt absorption
• Salt both sides + wire rack overnight for the best crust
• Bake at 250° until the internal temp hits 120°
• Pat dry + sear in a hot pan with avocado oil, flipping often until it reaches 130–135° for a nice medium-rare
• Rest 10 minutes, then slice

This method never misses 🔥🥩

Finally tried @trulypizza in Dana Point and it lived up to the hype! They ferment the crust so it has a sourdough light and airy vibe to it, but is super crispy and delicious. Highly recommend this spot!

High Protein Yogurt Bowl Recipe

Here’s one of my go-to high protein snacks when I’m craving something sweet and filling. A paleoish dessert or snack idea that takes minutes to make.

Recipe
170g full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 scoop vanilla @getpaleopro protein powder
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Sprinkle of sea salt
2 tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds
1/4 cup walnuts
Handful of blueberries and strawberries
Small handful of dark chocolate chips
How to make it:
Mix the yogurt with maple syrup, then stir in the protein powder and sea salt. Add all your toppings and it’s ready to eat.
What I like about @getpaleopro is that their protein is made from beef protein, collagen, and egg whites, so it’s paleo friendly, easy to digest, and keeps you full.
