If you like snacking on meat, then this recipe is for you! The flank steak, this grainier cut of the cow, lends itself so well to this. In order to avoid making it exaggeratedly chewy, you should cut the steak in smaller pieces (do that against the grain) and roast it for 3 hours. Generously flavor and spice the meat, first by marinating it in a hot mixture and then by serving it seasoned with curry powder.

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.

You’ve come to the right place for a fruity and cheesy, salty and sweet warm salad. We’ve chosen Santa Maria pears, but this is not cast in stone. You can choose Anjou, or Bosc pears, or what have you. It doesn’t really matter as long as they are pears. Bake them with onion, grill some Halloumi and serve them together on a bed of valerian, also known as corn salad or lamb’s lettuce.
