Red Pepper, Black Pepper, Sea Salt

- Instructions -

Whisk up 2 eggs with water in a wide shallow bowl

Flour one side of steak (top)
Use same side (top), dip in eggs

*Calcium, Protein, Carbohydrates*

Added Sauteed Mushrooms on top
Served with Mashed Potatoes and Corn

Healthy Alterations: #Fixthedish
  • Throw in vegetables or mushrooms on top of the dish
    • Gives you some extra vitamins and balances your plate to gain nutrients, not to mention the added flavor!
  • Always subsitute Panko for Breadcrumbs
    • Panko is 1/4 of the calories and it does not contain so many ingredients that are chemicals that I cannot even pronounce. I encourage you to check the labels. Unless of course you are making your own breadcrumbs.
  • Use Whole wheat flour
    • Bleached flour has added chemicals, but whole wheat flour is not only unbleached, but contains servings of whole grain


 Prosciutto Filet Mignon
On the lighter side:
Beef Tenderloin Cutlet
Prosciutto
Shallots, Onion, Garlic
*Vegetables, Protein*
*Gluten-Free*
Served with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

- Instructions -
Tie up Beef Tenderloin Cutlet w/ meat strings to prevent tearing
Saute Tenderloin thoroughly until outside is completely browned
In Broiling Pan, add chopped Shallots and Onions on top
Lay pieces of Prosciutto on top
Broil at 500 degrees w/ meat thermometer until meat hits 150 degrees internally

3 Good Choices:
  • Adding the vegetables stuffed between the Filet and the Prosciutto is smart. This adds so much flavor to the dish and gives you the extra nutrients you need.
  • Serving with green beans is also a good choice over a starch because you will be receiving a serving of vegetables. 
  • The prosciutto on top is a nice flavor option if you would like to limit your carbohydrates or gluten intake. My mother has a gluten intolerance, this is how I spice up her dish instead of doing a Parmesan crust.
These meals may take a little longer than normal, but a majority of the time is spent in the oven. The prep time for me is actually quite short, maybe 15 minutes. So, if you are feeling like treating yourself to a fancy dinner, go ahead and try making it yourself. I enjoy my own steaks so much more than any restaurant and it costs me less than half the price. Don't be afraid to try new things and put your own twist on it, that's all I've ever been trying to do. Have fun with food, I'm a kid and I love to!
