Easy Salisbury Steak

 

Easy Salisbury Steak

I came across this recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked really yummy. Be warned though, I've never had actual salisbury steak so I have no idea if this tastes like the real deal or not, but it was mighty delicious! I followed the recipe but didn't roast potatoes and I used a vidalia onion. One aspect of this recipe I love is the portion size, it gives you two perfectly portioned steaks. One of my greatest weaknesses is portioning the food I eat, I'm absolutely terrible at it and always make way too much, but this recipe is perfectly portioned as it is so it takes away the guesswork. I do know that normal salisbury steak has gravy on it, and this recipe kind of needs that. It tasted really yummy, but was a bit dry and dense and could've used some gravy. I was scooping up some mashed potatoes with every bite to add moisture. Otherwise, I really liked this recipe and I'll definitely make it again!

BTW, I served this steak with mashed potatoes and sauteed broccolini w/ a bit a parmesan cheese on top, but this dish is really flexible so serve it with your favorite starch/veggie combo!

"Guilt-Free" Ribs

"Guilt-Free" Ribs

So, I thought I had invented the holy grail of delicious clean food. BUT I didn't. When I make ribs, I usually use the crockpot and, fit people look away..., use a soda, coke, dr pepper, etc and pour it over the ribs close it and I'm good to go. But since we're trying to be clean, I decided to think outside of the box. I opened my fridge and saw organic apple juice and thought, oh. my. gosh. I'm a genius, but I'm not.. this is a totally documented way to make healthier version of ribs. Oh well, it was still mighty tasty!

2lbs Pork Ribs
2 cups organic apple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
2Tbsp white vinegar
1Tsp garlic powder
2Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
S&P
1/4 cup BBQ Sauce (you can sub in something organic, or homemade)

The best ribs are cooked low and slow. I didn't really have the time so I did high for 5 hours. An hour before it was finished I put a light coating of bbq sauce on top.

Comments: This was amazing and I didn't feel guilty for eating it (I rarely do - baha). The only complaint I had was that my ribs were super thick and a little fatty. So, it was extremely moist, and I much prefer it a little drier and some char. I didn't broil it either, which I will do next time!
