A Greek-style fast food that boasts Paleo power and plenty of energy to get you through a hectic day? You guessed it right, Greek Steak Souvlaki cooked in a pan and finished off in the oven makes for an exceptional lunch or dinner.
With its quick preparation and cooking time, it will give you enough minutes in the day to make an extra batch to take to work tomorrow! Time-saving, energy gained, and you know your co-workers will be envious of this dish.
Eye of round steak is extra lean, as well as being a relatively inexpensive cut of beef, and it takes a small learning curve to prepare it correctly. Avoid ending up with a chewy bit of meat by searing it first in a hot pan, then transferring it to the oven to finish cooking.
One of the greatest benefits of eating beef is that it is rich in zinc, an essential element for building and maintaining muscle mass; definitely, something that we can all appreciate!
We recommend adding a spinach side to this steak dish to greatly enhance the amount of valuable iron in this cut of beef. You could also try a Beet and Walnut Salad to compliment the flavors or stick with the theme of kalamata olives and bell peppers combined in a more traditional Greek Salad to add a bigger splash of color to the meal.
