ASSEMBLY

1. In a small mixing bowl make steak marinade by combining tamari, avocado oil, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and ginger.  Marinate steak, preferably overnight. 
2. Preheat grill on high heat,  roughly 550° Fahrenheit.
3. Place the steak on the grill for 4 minutes, flipping only once, then grill for an additional 3 minutes on the other side for a medium rare steak.  Adjust cooking time based on personal preference.
4. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the steaks collect their juices. Do not cover.
5. In a medium size sauté pan over medium heat add avocado oil, tamari, garlic, cabbage, bell pepper, green onions, and carrots.  Sauté until softened, about 7 minutes. 
6. While the vegetables are sautéing, cut the steak by slicing it thin against the grain. 
7. Serve steak and vegetables on lettuce wraps or tortillas.  Top with cilantro.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Grass-fed Beef: Does it really need to be grass-fed? YES. Grass-fed beef contains significantly more omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef. The optimal ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids should be 2:1.   The Western Diet has excessive amounts of omega 6 fatty acids (resulting in a much higher 6 / 3 ratio) which can promote the onset of certain diseases like cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Increased levels of Omega 3 fatty acids can show suppressive effects. The goal is to increase your omega 3’s by getting as close to the optimal 2:1 ratio. Your brain will thank you. PLUS, it contains more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat that’s thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risk.

Garlic:  Can reduce high blood pressure, and it also contains antioxidants.  Top food for gut health – it contains prebiotic fiber, plus it’s antiviral and antifungal. 

Cilantro:  Helps support healthy liver function and balance blood sugar.

Avocado Oil: Rich in healthy fat, and it’s a good choice for high temperature cooking.
