Cheesesteak- Primalized!

-


Yeah, I know it doesn't take much to primalize a cheesesteak.  Just ditch the roll and sauté the veggies in bacon fat, yum!

So, here is the amazingly difficult recipe.

-heat about 1 tablespoon bacon fat in skillet on medium heat
-add peppers, stir around a bit
-add onions, stir around a bit  (do I need to say that the onions and peppers were sliced? Or can we handle that step?)
-remove peppers and onions when the onions just start to get wilted
-add mushrooms to skillet, stir around a bit (add some butter for flavor- if your 'into' that kind of thing)
-unwrap steaks (I used Fast Fixins this time, I know not quite paleo, but give a girl a break- I do have four entire children and a husband here ;o) )
-cook steaks according to directions on package, get frustrated when they take longer than 3 minutes- stamp foot a little, roll eyes
-remove meat from heat
-plce meat on plate
-removed pre-sliced provolone from package
-place on top of meat- nuke for 20 seconds to help meat cheese
-remove plate from nuker
-add veggies and mushrooms to plate

the rest is optional:

-brag about meal on the internet
-take pictures and share you enjoyment

Awesome, "I don't feel like cooking" Meal!!

So, I got home a little late from work since i had to pick the kids up from after school care.  The motivation to cook was just not there.  My wonderful hubby had purchased a pre-cooked chicken, you know the kind from the grocery store?  Not perfectly primal, but pretty darn good anyway.  My inner Grokelle wanted bacon, yum!

So, I popped some bacon in the oven and pulled some chicken off the bones.

Rummaging through the fridge I found a slightly limp remnant of napa cabbage and there was a red onion on the counter.  I can work with this.  Another quick look in the fridhe...oh, yogurt and a bit of mayo.  This might just turn out okay.

So without further ado, my yummy "lazy Mamma Chicken Salad Wrap"

 the funky red thing is a radish, the plate needed color besides green...lol


Chicken salad:

a pile of chicken ripped from the carcass, I like to have lots of dark meat
1 large dollop of plain full fat yogurt (about 1.5 tablespoon..maybe)
1 large dollop of mayo (not totally primal since it was Hellman's--oops)
1.5 teaspoon onion powder
1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
a clump of garam masala
a sprinkle of sea salt

Mix it all together, taste it and see if it is 'right', adjust seasoning as needed

So, how was it so delicious?  Well, take the napa cabbage and blob some chicken salad in teh middle, squirt a bit of sriracha on there.  Add some of the red onion and top with a bit of the bacon.  Bite, then wait while you overcome the urge to slap your momma.  Well, in my case it was my hubby because he was sitting next to me.  I wish I had some more it was that good.  Luckily it is all gone because I am full and don't NEED to eat anymore right now.
