Phase 3 Recipes
Phase 3 recipes include foods such as potatoes, corn, fruit juices, unprocessed honey, pure maple syrup, dried fruit, etc. These foods are healthy, but they are higher on the glycemic index and higher in carbs than foods in the first two phases—so they should be eaten in moderation. See the Phase 3 Food List for complete list.
Taco Salad Four servings.
1 pound Laura’s Lean (4 or 8 percent) ground beef 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup Herdez salsa Spice mix: 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Brown ground beef in oil. Add salsa and spices. Simmer for a few minutes, until beef is done.
Make the salad on four individual plates in layers, using: broken corn tortillas, torn romaine lettuce, chopped tomato, chopped onion, shredded cheese, taco meat.
If desired, mix 1/2 cup sour cream (or ranch dressing) and 1/2 cup Herdez salsa, and pour 1/4 cup over each salad before adding cheese and meat.
If serving only two, put half the taco meat in the fridge or freezer for later use in soup or another recipe.
Fiery Beef Satay Skewers Four servings. From: http://www.txbeef.org: Put a little spice in your life. Prep: 20 minutes; Cook: 20 minutes.
1 1/2 lb. top sirloin steak 5 to 6 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup Dijon-style mustard 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 4 teaspoons minced garlic 1 tablespoon ground red pepper
In large bowl, combine mustard, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic and red pepper. Remove and reserve 1/2-cup of this marinade mixture for basting.
Trim fat from beef steak. Cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes. Add beef to remaining marinade in bowl. Toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Remove beef from marinade. Discard marinade. Alternately thread an equal amount of beef and green onion onto each of four 12-inch metal or bamboo skewers.
Place skewers on grid over medium ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 10-12 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, basting frequently with reserved 1/2-cup marinade and turning occasionally.
These also make great appetizers.
Use a sealable plastic bag to mix marinade ingredients. Put beef into bag and seal. After marinating simply throw marinade and bag away - quick and easy clean up!
If using wood skewers, soak in water for 10-15 minutes before threading to keep from burning.
