Flank steak is made from the cow's abdominal muscles. It's one of the healthiest beef cuts—ounce for ounce and, it has fewer calories and more protein than a ribeye or porterhouse. With a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, there are many ways that flank steak is beneficial, such as high amounts of B12, to help you form blood and promote a healthy working nervous system. It also contains over 58% zinc and over 30% iron. Zinc is essential in helping the immune system fight off bacteria but it also helps the body make proteins and DNA! </p> <h2>It’s all about that aroma</p></h2> <p align="justify">There is something irresistible about the aroma of roasted garlic. It not only tastes delicious but the benefits are many! Garlic's abilities are credited due to the presence of the compound, Allicin. Allicin which is found in fresh, crushed or chewed garlic, has anti-bacterial and antifungal properties as well as helps to cleanse your system and flush out toxins. Consuming it on a daily basis (in food or raw) helps to aid in the above abilities and keep your heart healthy, blood pressure and even blood sugars in tip-top shape! It is an excellent addition to any meal.</h2> </section> <hr class="divider-15 divider-thick mx-auto"> <section class="recipe"> <h2 itemprop="name" align="center">Garlic Butter Steak</h2> <div class="prep"> <span> <meta itemprop="prepTime" content="PT30M">Prep Time: 30 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="cookTime" content="PT15M">Cooking Time: 15 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="recipeYield">Serves: 4</span> </div> <h3>Ingredients:</h3> <ul class="ingredients no-bullet"> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 ½ pounds flank steak</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">4 medium zucchini</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 tablespoons avocado oil</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">4 garlic cloves</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 lemon</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">¼ cup dry white wine or chicken broth</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">¼ cup chopped parsley</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste</li> </ul> <b>Steak Marinade:</b> <ul class="ingredients no-bullet"> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">⅓ cup coconut aminos</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">¼ cup lemon juice</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ cup avocado oil</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or any keto friendly hot chili sauce you like)</li> </ul> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium"> <h3>Instructions:</h3> <ol itemprop="recipeInstructions"> <li><p align="justify">Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a Ziploc bag. </p></li> <li><p align="justify">Place the steak into the marinade, seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour.</p></li> <li><p align="justify">In the meantime, wash and trim the ends of the zucchini.
