Another Great Healthy Recipe! Thai Beef Salad

Thai Beef Salad


What you’ll need:
4 oz of steak per serving (Sirloin works well)
1 bag of salad greens
1 cucumber, scored and chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 large tomato, seeded and thinly sliced
1 bunch cilantro, stemmed and chopped
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
several limes, juiced
zest of 1 lime
1/3 cup olive oil
1tsp soy sauce (or fish sauce)
sweet chili paste (trader joe’s or supermarket)

What you do:
In the morning, in a big baggie, marinate the steak in the olive oil and 3 crushed garlic cloves. Oh, what the heck, squeeze a lime in there, grate a tsp of lime zest, add a tsp of sweet chili paste and throw it in too. Let it sit in the fridge all day. When you are ready to start dinner, throw the bag of meat in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This firms up the meat and makes it easier to slice really thin.

While you are waiting on the meat, slice up your onions, chop the cilantro, slice the tomato. If you have one of those really cool but utterly useless cucumber peely things (to make stripes on the cucumber skin) you can use that. Otherwise just scrape the skin with a fork or just leave it alone and chop the cucumber.

Take the meat out of the freezer and with an extremely sharp knife, slice it very thin. Heat a pan with a little oil and stir-fry the beef. Remove the beef from the heat when cooked and let it cool. Place all salad ingredients and meat in a large bowl.

Mix 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1T. soy sauce (or fish sauce), 1 crushed garlic clove and 1tsp sweet chili paste for the dressing. Poor over the salad and toss to coat. If you want more heat you can use some red pepper flakes.

Lettuce Wrap Carnitas

Mmm. Tacos.

Here is another awesome Paleo friendly recipe from Primal Mama…Gotta love it!

What you will need:

1 pork tenderloin (this would work with chicken or meat too)

juice of 2 lime

1 T chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp coriander

1/4 tsp cinnamon

2 bay leaves

1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium, gluten free)

1/2 a purple onion

1 green bell pepper

1 head of butter lettuce (or lettuce you can make into taco shells)

store bought pico de gallo (or make your own)
store bought guacamole (or make your own)

What You Do:

Get out your ‘ol faithful crockpot. Put the chicken broth in, the lime juice and the two bay leaves. In a small bowl mix up all the spices. Coat the pork with the spices and give it a little massage. Lay the pork in the crockpot and turn it on low. Cover and forget it. It should be done in five to six hours so hopefully you have a crockpot with an automatic timer. If you don’t Amazon.com has them with free shipping. They are worth every penny. If you have time in the morning you can dice up the purple onion and green pepper. If not it’s easy to do in the evening. Saute the onion and pepper together until crisp/tender.

Shred the pork. Get out the lettuce and put a few leaves on everyone’s plate. Top with some meat, sauteed veggies, pico de gallo, and guacamole. If the kids don’t like the idea of a lettuce wrap you can easily serve this in a bowl and add anything else they may like to it.

Another awesome recipe by Primal Mama. Please visit her and show some comment love.

Kettlebell Basics, Part 1

Kettlebell Swing = Weightloss

 

Doing things correctly in the beginning pays off big in the long run. My Kettlebell Coach Jeff Martone has said in his experience “once poor technique becomes a habit, it takes 10 perfect reps to rewire the body for each bad rep.” Learning all the details is time consuming and requires concentration, but “a stitch in time saves nine.” Take the basic Kettlebell lift, the swing. I tell my athletes that although the swing is the most basic drill, it’s one of the most technical.

Straighten your wrist, lockout your elbow, suck in your shoulder, tighten your gluteus, finish your hips, pressurize. These are just a few things I say over and over when I’m training. My athletes may think I am a broken record but practice makes permanent, and when they are with me their practice will be perfect. This is how I train my clients because this is how I train myself. I have always been a detail oriented person, and that is no different when it comes to lifting. The difference is in the details.

That difference can affect progress, goals, and may mean the difference in a trip to the ER or making substantial gains. You cannot make dramatic gains or progress if you are hurt from using sloppy form. As a matter of fact getting hurt means a significant training set back.

Using Points Of Performance is the only way to train if you want to make serious gains fast. Paying attention to details will save you much time and much pain. Get down the basics; wire your system to do things right from the beginning and you will do nothing but progress in your training.

There are about nine common errors with new Kettlebell lifters. All the errors can be fixed with a few simple corrections. Correcting what may seem like minor details in the beginning, again, will save you a lot of time and pain in the long run. If you bypass the details in the beginning, you are asking for pain in the end.

The nine most common mistakes we see are:

  • Bent wrists
  • Bent elbows during overhead drills
  • Disconnected shoulders
  • Wide arc during cleans
  • Incomplete hip snap
  • Rounded backs
  • Weight on the toes during swings
  • Incorrectly distributed weight during Windmills
  • Trouble with Snatch grip and wrist banging

We will break each of these common mistakes down into clean, points of performance in other articles. Stay tuned!

Szechuan Chicken And Veggies

What you’ll need:

Free Range Chicken Breasts
5 T. low sodium soy sauce (gluten free)
2 T. rice vinegar (no sugar, no salt)
1 T. sesame oil
1 T. powdered ginger
1 T. Chili Oil (trader joe’s)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
one or two red bell peppers
a bunch of green onions
a few slivered almonds

What you do:
Cut the chicken into bite sized chunks. Slice the bell pepper into thick strips and cut the green onions into two inch lengths. Mix the rest of the ingredients into a marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken and mix it up. Let the chicken soak while you saute the vegetables. Once the veggies are crisp tender add the chicken to the pan. Make sure the pan is hot. You want to cook the chicken quickly.

Taste. If you want extra heat go ahead and add some more red pepper flakes. Plate it and sprinkle a few slivered almonds over the top. This is an easy and oh so spicy dish.
