Beef Stir-Fry with Noodles

Beef Stir-Fry With Noodles

This ingredient-rich but still pretty light stir-fry was obviously inspired to us by the Asian cuisine. It’s low on calories and not that high in carbohydrates. The iron and vitamin B12-rich sirloin steak, marinated in soy sauce and fish oil, is the perfect match for the noodles. And that’s especially true when everything is cooked with caramelized shallot and ginger and served dressed with citrus juice.

Beef Bun Cha

Beef Bun Cha

The Vietnamese Buncha is originally made with pork. In our case, we’ve settled for beef, instead. The meat patties should be served on a bed of rice vermicelli noodles, although you could use wheat noodles, too. We’ve enhanced the whole combo with a lemony hot sauce. Feel free to garnish everything with thinly sliced raw veggies and sesame seeds.

Hmm, what to do with the duck carcass left from your previous cooking adventure? An incredibly scrumptious soup, of course. The duck carcass and the duck fat will flavor the whole thing altogether. And the ‘thing’ is a potato broth enhanced with vegetable goodies, ginger, and Cajun spices.

Roasted Duck with Figs

Roasted Duck With Figs

We don’t eat duck often enough and we should. So why don’t we do some braising this time? First by roasting the duck meat for 20 minutes at high temperature, then by searing it and, finally, by cooking it for 90 minutes over low heat. Then let’s serve it along with the veggies and a few raw figs.

Braised Pork Belly with Apples and Onions

Braised Pork Belly With Apples and Onions

The fatty pork belly is the celebrated pork cut from which the bacon is prepared. Only this time, we simply want to cook this delicious and popular cut. And we’ll do that by braising it. So, the first step is searing the pork in olive oil and the second is baking it covered at medium temperature. We’ll further flavor the meat in step two by cooking it with thyme, red onion, and apple. Step three: enjoy!

Ribeye Steak with Pesto Sauce

Ribeye Steak With Pesto Sauce

Who’s in for a good old ribeye steak? We’ll just sear it on the grill pan (you can use your grill, too, for that matter) and we’ll enhance it with pesto sauce. Only, this time, our pesto is kind of special because we add egg yolks to it, which will thicken it and add to the flavor. Try it yourself!

Red Lentil-Stuffed Tomatoes

Red Lentil-Stuffed Tomatoes

This stuffed tomato dish is healthy and vegetarian, it’s not so high in carbohydrates or fat, it is pretty low on protein and calories. Of course, you can always choose to use it as a side dish. You’ll need the pulp from 1 tomato only for the filling mixture. Eat the remaining pulp raw, as we did.
