Steak and bacon soup!

We had a roast a few days ago. It was huge (on sale at the grocery store), and to be quite honest I was growing tired of eating it. So here on night number 3 we finally finished this roast. This soup can either be done with a lean steak or roast. We used our tenderloin roast. You can use leftover meat or new fresh meat. Its a super easy, quick and delicious paleo meal.



Paleo Steak and Bacon Soup

olive oil
2-3 lbs of steak, cut into bite sized cubes (take off fat)
2 onions (I used sweet onions)
5 strips bacon, cut into bits
1/2 cup red wine
1 quart beef broth (look for good stuff or make your own)
1 pinch dried rosemary
2 pinch dried thyme
2 pinch dried marjoram
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 lbs spinach, chopped (I used frozen)
sea salt, to taste
black pepper to taste

Heat a large soup pot over medium to medium high heat. Swirl with olive oil. Add steak, onion and bacon. Cook until bacon and steak is cooked. Pour off some grease if there is too much. Add red wine. Scrape all of the yummy bits off of the sides of the pot. Add beef broth and seasonings. Add frozen spinach and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 15-30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Beef lo mein stir fry

I know that there is mixed info on soy sauce for paleo. Some people say gluten free tamari is acceptable, some say liquid aminos is a better choice, yet others abstain completely. If you chose to abstain, then this recipe is not for you. However, if you use tamari or liquid aminos, then please enjoy this yummy dinner! My best suggestion is to prep all of the veggies and meat before you heat the skillet. Place them each in separate bowls so they are ready to be added whenever you need them.



Beef Lo Mein Stir Fry

2-3 lbs lean grass fed beef (we used filets), sliced into strips
1 onion, halved and sliced thinly
6-8 cloves of garlic, minced
1-2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1/2 bag baby carrots, sliced
3-4 stalks celery, sliced
1/4 cup gluten free tamari
2 packages sea kelp noodles
2 tsp arrowroot powder

Heat large skillet to high heat. Swirl with olive oil. Add carrot and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add beef. Saute until partially browned. Add onion. Saute until onion is soft. Add garlic, ginger and celery. Saute for 2-4 minutes. Add tamari. Saute for another 2-4 minutes, you can cover and allow to sit if it looks like it needs more time. Add sea kelp noodles and saute until noodles soften. Add arrowroot powder, to thicken sauce. Stir to combine then turn off the heat. Serve and enjoy!
