Hi, it’s Jan D’Atri, and yes, you can have a gourmet meal and stay on your diet.
This is clean eating the Red Mountain Way!
Does this look like you’re depriving yourself of a delicious, nutritious gourmet meal? That’s what Red Mountain cooking is all about!
And here are your ingredients: a 3.5 oz filet steak (one of the leanest cuts of beef), kale (often called the number-one superfood — and I’ll tell you why in just a minute), another superfood – garlic– which helps with high blood pressure high cholesterol and heart disease, you’ll also need zero calorie balsamic vinegar, mustard powder, and mushrooms — white or cremini — yet another superfood!
In a bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the balsamic, 1 teaspoon of dried mustard, two cloves of minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together and then place the filet on a foil lined baking sheet and spread the glaze over the steak. Then, let it sit for about ten minutes. You’ll broil the steak to your desired temperature for rare, medium, or well-done.
While that’s broiling, let’s make the sauté, starting with kale.
You’ll need about a pound, and make sure you cut the tough stems away. Kale is an amazing food because of the fiber and probiotics. It helps with digestion, it’s rich in iron, vitamin A, K, and vitamin C, which helps to slow the aging process. Kale also helps to reduce inflammation in the body, and there’s a lot of evidence that it boosts your heart health.
Now for the mushrooms. Mushrooms are a true superfood. They’re very high in antioxidants, loaded with minerals, and studies show that they can actually keep your brain young and alert!
Now, here’s how to tell if you’re buying the freshest mushroom: when mushrooms are fresh, that veil around the cap is sealed; and as the mushroom gets older, that veil breaks and you can see the dark gills below.
You’ll slice enough mushrooms for about two cups. Spray a skillet with zero-calorie cooking spray and add six cloves of minced garlic and cook until softened. Next, add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms — I’m using both white and creminis. Cook them for just a few minutes, sprinkle with a little salt, and then add the kale and cook until it wilts down.
When your filet is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice it up.
Wow, now that is a gourmet meal!
