Healthier Beef Tip

🥩If you eat beef, you might want to consider making sure it comes from grass-fed cows!

Grass-fed beef offers up to 5x the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as conventionally raised beef.

It’s also higher in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat that appears to be linked with a lower incidence of some chronic diseases.

Plus, it’s higher in vitamins A, E, and antioxidants compared to beef from cows that were fed grain.

You can buy grass-fed beef in most supermarkets … but a nearby farmer’s market/local butcher can help you to find a great local source.

✅Because grass-fed is a little leaner than grain-fed beef, cook it at a lower temperature for a shorter time to avoid damaging the omega-3s.

Flavor Twists: This steak salad is super versatile and more toppings just seem to make it even better. Some favorites are avocado slices, black beans, jalapeno peppers if you want more of a Southwest steak cobb salad feel.

Step 1. Remove your leftover steaks from the fridge. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

Step 2. In a small bowl, whisk all of your dressing ingredients together until combined, or alternately for a smoother dressing, blend it in your blender then set aside.

Step 3. Chop all the veggies for your salad.

Step 4. To assemble your cob salad, layer the chopped lettuce at the base of a shallow platter.

Step 5. Arrange the chopped veggies on top. Add the steak and crumbled cheese.

Step 6. Drizzle with your dressing. Toss and Enjoy!

Rachel’s Tips

• If you plan to warm your steak up before adding it to the salad, then undercook your steak when you initially cook it.
• Always season your steak before cooking. I like to use salt, freshly cracked pepper, and a bit of onion and garlic powder.
