So way back when I posted about my steak- paleo pizza, and how I was using a smaller amount of steak to stretch into a full meal to save money. Well… I’ve been thinking about that more and more recently, and found another way to make it work!I love kale, my Mum loves kale, my Mum is actually the inspiration behind the Kale + Sausage soup! It also explains why I crave Kale on an almost weekly basis… Mr.Not So Paleo is obsessed with the Kale + Sausage soup, and as much as I love it, I wanted another new way to eat it. And here it is!
Quick Public Service Announcement: There are no Coupon Inserts in your Newspaper today or next Sunday! There should be at least a Proctor and Gamble insert {the best insert ever} on January 1st! {I gotta admit I’m a little sad lmao}
And Here is a preview of the 2012 insert schedule!
Alright enough of this coupon business onto the yummy recipe!
Ingredients:
• 1 bunch of Kale {a good sized one}
• 8oz of Mushrooms {at least}
• 1 Medium onion chopped
• 1 lb steak, cut up into bite size pieces
• A mug full of chicken stock
• Butter
• Salt, Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes, Dried Basil, Cumin
How To:
• Get butter + Onions in a pan.. to start sweating the onions {ok it really is a term for cooking but every time I type it I think of middle school when girls would look at guys and be like “I sweat you” and I burst out laughing…-sigh-}
• While they’re becoming friends, clean and chop your mushrooms, you can use whatever is on sale that day.. Baby portobellos were only $1.59 so I grabbed those! Then toss that into the pan
• I don’t buy steak tips unless they are stupidly cheap, so I got a piece of steak and cut it up.. {which is what you should be doing at this point}! Then add that in the pan, I added more butter at this point {steak + butter = amazing}
• While it’s all cooking, wash and get your Kale ready {just pull the leaves away from the stem and then break it up with my hand, but you could go ahead and chop it with a knife}.
• Add your kale into the pan, it’s going to look like a lot but it’ll shrink!
• Then add some chicken stock in, it totally depends on how much kale you have, you just want enough to create steam { I was still feeling icky that day so I just drank the rest of the stock!}.
• Cover with either the lid or tin foil for a few minutes, stirring it occasionally until the Kale is soft and has wilted down.
• Add in spices {I added in only a dash of cumin, just to round out the flavors, totally optional though}, taste test and serve!
I served this up with sweet potato fries and homemade mayo! It was so freaking yummy.
Great recipe, thanks for sharing. I added some lemon juice and a few teaspoons of garam masala to give it a bit more a kick. I also used carne asada for the meat which was perfect.
