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!

My Homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars

I’ve been playing around with a healthier protein bar option and am very happy with how these turned out.

Each bar packs about 22 grams of protein, they’re surprisingly filling, and they taste solid. 

The recipe is now live on Paleoish.com. Go check it out.

This elk rack from @firstlight.farm hit the spot.

Here’s how I cooked it up:
• Avocado oil, salt + pepper
• Roast at 450° for 15 min
• Lower to 350°, cook 15–20 min until 130° internal
• Rest 15 min, slice and 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!
