Greek-ish Beef

I'm starting this low carb eating blog to help myself succeed. I have these little flashes of genius (or what I think is genius, anyway ;) ) that inspire low carb dishes. But it's mostly only when I'm all inspired to eat well. The thing is, when I'm struggling to stay on this horse I never remember how good the food can be. Or my mind just blanks out on me. I wouldn't consider myself a great cook by any means but I usually like what turns out -- and I always get compliments on how good it smells at work when I take the left overs. In case someone else is reading this other than my mom ;) I'll be up front, some of the nutritional facts may be off but I do my best to calculate it accurately with the nutrition info that comes on packaging or found online. Maybe I can inspire someone else who is low carb'in it.

First dish is Greek-ish Beef









1/2 cup reduced fat feta - 120 cal. 2 carbs 7 fat 12 protein

1lb extra lean beef - 560 cal o carbs 18 fat 96 protein

1 green bell pepper (2 cups) 33 cal 7.6 carbs 0 fat 1.4 protein

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil 40 cal 0 carbs 4.7 fat 0 protein

2 tsp minced garlic 10 cal 2 carbs 0 fat 0 protein

2 tsp dried chopped onion no info at the moment

fresh ground salt and pepper ( I uses a good bit of pepper)


total dish: 763 cal 11.6 carbs 29.7 fat 109.4 protein

serving: 190 cal 2.9 carbs 7.43 fat 27.35 protein




Cook the pepper with the olive oil, 1 tsp garlic, dried onion, salt pepper, oregano

Cook and drain the beef -- add salt, pepper, oregano, dried onion while cooking

combine the two then mix in feta. -- you could do feta on each dish if you'd rather.

I've made this with a whole chopped onion as well, and it's good -- but take note that it will add more carbs if you decide to add it to your dish. :) :) :)

enjoy
