15 Minute Steak and Eggs with Salad (Paleo/Whole 30)

The Steak:

I use grass-fed filet mignon or to make it more budget friendly, grass fed top sirloin from ButcherBox. ButcherBox offers grass fed beef delivered to your door!

YOU MAY BE WONDERING “WHY GRASS FED?”

I know beef companies proudly tout “corn fed” like it’s a good thing, but it’s not. Corn is not a cow’s natural food, grass is. Corn and other grains make cows sick and when they get sick they are pumped with antibiotics, which are passed right along to you. In fact, conventional grain-fed beef is twice as likely to contain dangerous bacteria resistant to antibiotics than grass fed beef. No bueno.

Grass fed cows make superior meat too. Yep, it tastes better and is better for you. The meat from grass fed cows is higher in the healthy omega 3 fats and lower in the inflammation causing omega 6 fats. And it’s nice to know these cows live a better life than those that live in overcrowded feedlots. The problem is, grass fed beef can be hard to find, luckily ButcherBox make grass fed beef accessible to everyone in the US!

How I Keep It Quick!

To make this meal in less than 15 minutes, I slice the steak, season it, and sear it in the same pan as the eggs. Then arrange it in a bowl with greens, tomatoes, Persian cucumber, grated carrots and for a little probiotic boost some fermented cabbage. Then I drizzle it all in a simple lemon garlic vinaigrette!
