Healthy, less carb dinner ideas

Beef

1. Marinate flank steak for two days, grill, slice. For kids serve with tortillas or buttered egg noodles or rice depending on marinade. For adults doing low carb serve over salad with dressing to match the marinade…ie miso sesame if using teriyaki, southwestern ranch if using a chipotle or lime/chili, vinaigrette if using basic marinade etc. Make extra for leftovers, chop into smaller pieces and use in omelettes.

2. Steak - cut into cubes like the Japanese steakhouses, season with Japanese BBQ sauce, cook in wok at high heat. Cook veggies the same way. Serve with rice or extra veggies. This is a good way to use up extra meat if you have it. Sometimes I’ll do a steak, chicken breast and a few shrimps if extra people show up for dinner.

3. Bolognese sauce over pasta. NYT recipe is good. For the low carb people offer lo carb noodles or roasted zucchini as the base.

4. Bulgogi meatballs or steak. Make meatballs ; add bulgogi sauce and then cook in a slow cooker for an hour or few on low. If you have frozen steak, defrost but slice when still partially frozen into very thin slices, marinate in bulgogi sauce and then grill using a cast iron grill pan.

We do steak/chicken/shrimp kabobs a lot. We don't use the sticks just put all on the grill. Lot's of veggies to pick from - weed out what you personally don't like.
