Wasabi Dressing Flank Steak Salad Eat by Color

Ingredients

 

Flank Steak

Broccoli Cole Slaw

Shredded Carrots (yes they have these)

Wasabi Dressing (found in the health food market in Hyvee)

Spring Mix (Aragula, spinach, etc.)

1 Box of Quinoa

2 Cucumbers

2 Roma Tomatos

1 Medium Vadalia Onion

Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Sea Salt

Oregano

Crushed Black Pepper

 

Moctail with LaCroix

Fresh Mint

2 Limes

6 Cans of LaCroix Lime sparkling water

Crushed ice

 

Prepare the quinoa per instructions on the box. Cook the steak however ever you prefer. Grill, broil, or cook on the stove top to your desired finish. We did medium rare and prepped on the stove top. Toss slaw, carros, and spring mix. Slice steak thin and place on top of mixed vegetables. Apply wasabi dressing to your liking.

IMG_6941

Wash and peel cucumbers. Wash tomatoes. Peel onion. Chop, slice and dice all three. Combine and toss in a bowl. Top with balsamic, olive oil, dust with spices. Toss again.

wasabi 1

Muddle two or three mint leaves in each of 6 8oz glasses. Cut the limes and squeeze 1/3 of a lime into each class. Top with crushed ice and pour in the Lacroix.

wasabi 2

You now have the steak over mixed vegetables and two sides. The options to this are endless. Different steaks can be used as can chicken and possibly fix. The quinoa could be skipped for those eliminated carbs are controlling macros. Once again the only limit is the imagination.

CaptureLow carb, egg, vegetable, sausage wrap.  Here is the best part.  I used left overs.  Better part this took no time to make AND it is highly portable to so great to eat on the on the go.  It is also a great spin on a wrap for lunch.

Vegetables (left over broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower basically a California blend)

Grilled Sausage (left over)

Rice (quinoa or cous cous will work too and yes this was a leftover)

Grilled Chicken (another left over)

Eggs

Olive OilIMG_1330

Toss everything except the wrap in to a flying pan with some olive oil.  Everything has already been cooked so just warm every thing up in the pan.  In a second frying pan scramble some eggs.  You can go two to three egg whites to one whole egg to drop the calories or macros if you are so inclined.

Add to a Flat Out.

Wrap it LOW CARB with Lettuce!

So some of you have asked for recipes for the lettuce wrap picture we posted on Facebook.

Why lettuce wraps?  Well lettuce is a great replacement for bread or a higher carb option in what we typically call a sandwich.  Lettuce makes it EASY to create Eat by Color meals.  Now a little history why the bread/fajita for sandwich/wrap?  Most likely because it made food more portable and with the bread providing a vehicle to move typically some type of meat from plate to mouth.

Where does sandwich come from?  Click here to find out.

A few options for the lettuce wrap.  The first is mine.  The second a little more on the racy edgy side as I am including a Rachel Rey recipe.  There are no rules.  Feel free to make recipes your own using foods and ingredients that you have in your house.   Simple means it will fit your lifestyle and you will be successful.

Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps

1 lbs of chicken breast

4 fresh peppers, go with red, yellow, green, and orange

Fresh Portabella Mushrooms

Onion

1 Pack of Fajita Seasoning

 

Instructions

Grill chicken and peppers.  Yes grill the peppers just wash them and put the right on the grill.  Once the chicken is done remove along with the peppers.  Slice the chicken, onion, and peppers into strips.  Combine peppers, chicken, onion, and mushrooms in sauce pan with fajita seasoning (follow fajita instructions) and sauté.

Serve on lettuce instead of tortillas.

Feel free to get crazy.  If you have something at home add it.  There are no rules!  Literally as I write this I have a jar of Jalapeno green salsa and yes this would be going on my fajitas.

This is the one that was not posted on our Facebook page but on a friends.

Chicken Lettuce Wrap

The Sloppy Joe

Brown lean ground beef

Drain fat, and add your favorite Sloppy Joe mix (be weary as some have a ton of carbs and sugar)

Follow directions on Sloppy Joe mix.

Or you can do the following that is from foodnetwork.com.  Personally I am not a fan of recipes like this that require ingredients that I may not always have readily available.  Remember, success with health, wellness, and weight loss requires the process to fit YOUR lifestyle….fancy pants ingredients don’t fit mine.   Read that again, if you are going to be successful with health, wellness, and weight loss the plan you follow has to be easy and fit your lifestyle.

Here is the recipe as it appears here

 

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 1/4 pounds ground beef sirloin
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend, such as McCormick brand Montreal

 

Seasoning
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 crusty rolls, split, toasted, and lightly buttered
Garnish: sliced ripe tomatoes, pickles, Deviled Potato Salad, recipe follows

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and meat to the pan. Spread the meat around the pan and begin to break it up. Combine brown sugar and steak seasoning. Add sugar and spice mixture to the skillet and combine. When the meat has browned, add onion and red peppers to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook onions, peppers, red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce with meat for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and paste to pan. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to simmer and cook Sloppy Joe mixture 5 minutes longer. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, pile Sloppy Joe meat onto lettuce.
