Philly cheese steak

[tamarian]

This was a real quick and easy meal. Not really a recipe. I grilled a steak, toasted 2 slices of low-carb bread (Shepherd's Loaf), and spread garlic butter on them. Oh, and I added a slice of onions to the stove-top iron grill. Had the steak on the garlic bread with cheese and the grilled onions. Yum. :yum:

This may become a regular meal! 5 grams ECC :thup:

Hey Wa'il...great minds think alike....this is almost identical to what we had for supper last night.... Only difference is I wasn't smart enough to think of the garlic butter for the bread!! (Good idea). I added a few mushrooms with the onion and used swiss cheese.

Well, I was shopping yesterday and found these sticks of garlic-butter. I never knew they existed. A bought one, and tasted it, it was really strong garlic flavour :thup: So, the :idea: just popped up to toast it and use the garlic butter.

I've never seen it either...but I'm not surprised it's available.

Hello guys...just wondering,
This recipe sounds phenomenal...I am on Atkins Induction right now...at what point can we start indulging in low carb bread?

And, when you say low carb...is it something that says that on the outside, or is it a multigrain, no sugar bakery bread.

Thanks, new to this Atkins stuff, and guess I sorta assumed bread of any kind would never be allowed...(haven't gotten to that chapter yet...induction day 8, sigh)

It depends on the bread, and how low-carb it is. This one if very high-protein, very low-carb and quite safe for induction. 2 slices a day is just 4 grams of carb.

And, when you say low carb...is it something that says that on the outside, or is it a multigrain, no sugar bakery bread.

I made this one. You can check the recipe under recipes / breads / "Sheperd's Loaf".

Thanks so much Wa'il I will! Sounds delish!

Be very,very careful with this kind of stuff Muse. If you read through the journals, you will probably notice that those who are successful with this WOL are those that use very few of these products and eat fresh proteins and vegetables. I think you've been here long enough to have read about the "Atkins Bar posts" causing stalls and cravings. Not all carbs are created equal. However, everyone is different and YMMV.

That's what Karen just did! :tears:

Wa'il :lol:

[Karen]

Ha! Not your recipe, just...possibly... the bread! ;)

BTW, it sounds really good, especially with the garlic butter. Add a few fried hot peppers the next time, or maybe a Habanero!

I just made a loaf of your bread today for sausage stuffing next weekend...

How's the texture?

I discovered that if you mix it really fast and set in the pan asap, it allows it to rise more. I'll revise the recipe to reflect this, to prevent a second rise problem.

What I did was beat it 100 times to help activate the gluten, but it turned out about the same as yours. I thought it would rise higher after the beating. The texture was good though.

What store did you find the garlic butter in? A supermarket chain I hope.

Sounds interesting! Also thanks for reminding me, I haven't made Shepherd's Loaf in ages ... back to the kitchen, I'm drooling for a slice of it. Sooooo yummy!

Hugs,
Norma June

p.s. I saw the whoosh fairy float across my screen again today; wish she would stop at my house for a bit. :p

I find them at IGA, Choices and Superstore. They're probably everywhere but I never paid attention to them until recently.

It's made by Lactantia ... Wa'il is right, it's sold everywhere. I can find it at NoFrills :) here in Ontari-ari-ari-oh!

It's sold in 1/4 lb sticks, wrapped in green foil. It's made with natural butter, garlic, herbs and a little white wine. There's a "garlic spread" sold in plastic tubs. Poison!! made with hydrogenated oil.

[Norma June]

Thanks guys, I'm going to look if it. I'm wondering now what other wonderful things can be done with this ... hmmmm?

:idea: Garlic butter on pork?
:idea: Garlic butter drizzled on pork rinds perhaps?
:idea: Garlic butter on Shepherd's Loaf and broiled ... definately!

The list is endless.

Thanks again for letting me know where to get it. And Doreen, you bet your sweet bippy that hydrogenated oil is POISON!

ciao,

I got the garlic butter and tonight I'm trying something different with it.
It's so nice out today that I decided to put a roast of pork on the barbecue on indirect heat. I put some white Swiss chard in aluminum foil along with the garlic butter. I'll let you know if it turns out okay.

I've got some lettuce & cherry tomatoes on stand-by in case it doesn't taste good but methinks it will as normally I par boil the Swiss chard then pan fry it in olive oil and garlic.

Oh and I diced up daikon and put it in aluminum foil along with butter, a dash of beef oxo, 1/4 of a small onion, 2 strips each of green & red pepper, 2 mushrooms and salt & pepper. I'll let you know how that turns out too.

[Sharon]

You're right about the weather and bbqing...I love it. Your dinner sounds wonderful...be sure to let us know how the Swiss Chard turns out.

[Norma June]

The Swiss chard turned out good. It did need more garlic though. I found that doing it this way gave me larger leaves when cooked ... the frying or sauteeing seemed to reduce it to very small pieces.

The daikon was really good. Had some left over so I'll use it tomorrow for breakfast ... I'll cut up some bacon into pieces and fry it then add the daikon mixture for LC hashbrowns. Yummy!

[sukey]

Tamarian,what is shepards loaf?I just have trouble finding good lo-carb
bread.

[sukey]

Tamarian,please disregard my question about :What is shepards loaf? I found the recipe,Now a new question.???? do you have to get whey powder & psylium husk at health food stores? I live in a very small town,with no health food stores. or could you order online somewhere? sorry, for so many question,please don't think I 'm dum....Thank you ,sue

[tamarian]

Hi Sue,

The Whey protein is usually found in health store and available on line from low-carb sites (check our shopping section from the menu above). Psylium husks is usually sold at "natural" and bulk stores, the type that sells dry goods and nuts etc.

Wa'il ... I don't know what happened ... I was going through some old digests that were sent to me in an effort to clear out my in-basket when I clicked on one of them and voila, here I am.

It wouldn't work before ... I'm heading off to other forums to see if it works in any other ones.

Sorry for the post folks ... had a problem accessing the forums. I'm glad to be back.
