ASSEMBLY
- In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk all your marinade ingredients together.
- Add your meat and marinade to a large Ziploc or resealable bag.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
GRILL INSTRUCTIONS:
- Let the steaks sit out until you are ready to grill. It’s best to get them to room temperature.
- When the steaks are at room temperature, preheat the grill to High Heat roughly 550° Fahrenheit.
- Place the steaks 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.
- Set aside for 10 minutes to let the steaks collect their juices. Do not cover.

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.
Avocado Oil: Rich in healthy fat, and it’s an excellent choice for elevated temperature cooking.
Cracked Pepper: Increases the hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach, which helps improve digestion.
Garlic: Can reduce high blood pressure, and they also contain antioxidants. Top food for gut health – it contains prebiotic fiber, plus it’s also antiviral and antifungal.
