Indian-Style Shredded Beef

Indian-Style Shredded Beef

Beef isn’t commonly served in India because of the religious beliefs of most people, but it pairs well with the strong, complex spices in Indian cuisine. This tender, shredded beef is one of my favorite Indian-style dishes to date. Prep time 15 minutesServes 8 1…

Shredded Barbacoa Beef

Shredded Barbacoa Beef

Here’s another take on tender shredded beef. I guess you could say it’s a knockoff of the barbacoa beef served at the Chipotle Mexican Grill, a popular restaurant in North America and some parts of Europe. It’s spicy, but not too spicy, and the herbs and spices give…

Taqueria-Style Shredded Beef

Taqueria-Style Shredded Beef

I’ve always lived in places with large Mexican populations, and with that, wonderful things like Latin markets, taqueria restaurants, and food trucks. If your experience has been limited to Americanized “Mexican” fast food, you’re missing out. My favorite tacos are…

Smoky Short Ribs with Mushrooms

Smoky Short Ribs with Mushrooms

Anyone who knows me well knows my fondness for bacon. I have a quote on my kitchen wall that says “Bacon is like a little hug from God.” Well, these short ribs have been hugged by bacon, so I guess that makes them secondhandedly hugged by the divine. And pretty tasty….

Orange Balsamic Short Ribs

Orange Balsamic Short Ribs

If you have leftover cooking juices, save them and use a few spoonfuls when you reheat the leftover rib meat. It will moisten and give more flavor to the meat, which may have dried out a bit while it was chilled. Also, slow-cooked meat tends to be more tender when…

Asian Beef Short-Rib Lettuce Wraps

Asian Beef Short-Rib Lettuce Wraps

The first time I had beef short ribs, they were prepared in a manner similar to this. These deep Asian flavors mixed with the spicy, cool bite from the slaw is still my favorite way to eat them. If your short ribs aren’t so meaty, throw in a couple of extra ribs so…

Creamy Sage-Rubbed Turkey and Mushrooms

Creamy Sage-Rubbed Turkey and Mushrooms

I’m a fairly recent convert to mushrooms, and I have to say, this is my favorite mushroom-heavy dish of all the ones I’ve tried. Using two kinds of mushrooms really brings more flavor to the chicken—and that creamy sauce made from paleo mayo and the pot juices?…

Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs in Marinara

Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatballs in Marinara

Meatballs and red sauce is a favorite easy meal—particularly these meatballs. I love using ground organic turkey because it has such a mild flavor and is truly a blank canvas for any flavor you add. These meatballs—like all of the meatballs in this book—can be frozen…

Turkey Tamale Pie

Turkey Tamale Pie

Instead of spending hours wrapping shredded meat and masa dough in a corn husk, you can layer the filling and masa dough in a pan and bake it. Genius, right? I made my own paleo version by creating a flavorful chili-like filling with ground turkey, Tex-Mex sausage,…
