Salsa Cube Steak
Salsa Steaks - Use Organics
We are always on the lookout for a superb LOW CARB recipe for meat, that switches things up a bit. When you are following a gluten free, paleo primal type diet, you need variety. This recipe takes cube steaks to a whole new level, adding a fiery, spicy twist to them that is out of this world!
Salsa Steaks are an adaptation from Leanne Ely, the fabulous Dinner Diva at "Saving Dinner" and Leanne's Menu Mailers are fabulous -and this is the recipe rave. Changed the spices and peppers up a bit and it is fabulous! We made it for dinner, along with French Haricot Verte (green beans, sauted in EVOO with some fresh sea salt and cracked pepper) and the "Cauliflower rice" and a huge salad with fresh greens, mushrooms and Amish country blue cheese. I did forget the gorgeous tomatoes on the counter, but that is okay! It was so good, but my salsa was a little HOT and my younger daughter actually CRIED as she gobbled it down! Do try it and go visit Leanne's site for a variety of different menus, with shopping lists and you just buy organic as much as you can!
