Fusion Steak Guisado

So with conflicting schedules we had to push the typical Tuesdays dinner for two to Thursday. It was totally worth the wait. Patrick started texting me earlier on in the day to tell me about this meal he was making which of course made me extremely hungry the entire rest of the day! He started by sending me pictures of 2 shell steaks in this broth he made.

Ugh!! See what he does to me while I'm at work. As I'm getting hungrier he starts talking about how he wants to turn this dish into a pulled beef type meal so he started experimenting with tortillas using almond flour and egg whites....

My stomach continues to growl at me as he sends me these updates! Finally I'm heading home and I'm on the train. He tells me "OMG Kim, its FALLING off the bone!!"

...Seriously? Kill me now that just looks way too good! I was so excited to try it! He mentioned he added curry to it which made me slightly nervous since I have such little experience tasting or cooking with that ingredient. But I trusted that this meal would be as good as it looked. When he got to my house we starting prepping together a basic cauliflower rice (raw cauliflower blended nicely) with some garlic and olive oil and put into a sauté pan. Meanwhile I realize I have these super brown skinned plantains that needed to be used. Patrick slice them up and started searing them in a pan with coconut oil.

Let me tell you..If I could post a "smell" onto this blog, I would have won you over by now! The kitchen smelled amazing. Once everything was completed he dished things up for us and we devoured..and I mean..devoured the food. I had a huge helping of seconds (I don't even think he realized I had gone for seconds I ate my first helping so quickly)

Recipe: Paleo Fusion Steak Guisado

1 onion
1 green pepper
2 shell steaks
1 head of garlic
Few bushels of fresh thyme
3 olives
1 cup tomatoe puree
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp of curry
1 tbs respectively of salt, pepper and garlic powder

Sauteed veggies till translucent and set as side. Seared high heat the steak on both sides after seasoning (salt & pepper). Added rest of ingredients and slowly cooked at low temperature roughly two hours or until meat is pulling apart easily. To thicken the sauce Patrick used tempered egg yolks leftover from making the tortillas but he says you can skip it :)

Recipe: Paleo Tortillas
4 Egg Whites
Coconut or Almond Flour
(Coconut flour works better because it absorbs the moisture)

Whisk in coconut flour to get the desired thickness and pour onto a skillet. Kind of like a crepe.

Seriously this dish is awesome..You should definitely try it!
