To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have spiced ginger steak with spring onions and potatoes using 11 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Spiced Ginger Steak with Spring Onions and Potatoes:
- Get 2 sirloin steaks, 1/2 lb each, about 3/4 inch thick
- Take 4 medium sized spring onions
- Prepare 2 large russet potatoes
- Make ready 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Get 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Prepare 1 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorn
- Make ready 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- Get 1/2-1 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
- Take 1 tablespoon butter
- Make ready 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Make ready bacon for baked potato topping
Instructions to make Spiced Ginger Steak with Spring Onions and Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F
- Wash your potatoes. Cut two slits in each potato about halfway through and pop out the wedges. Set them aside.
- Stuff the slots in the potatoes with butter, and replace the wedge.
- Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil, and place directly on the oven rack. Bake them for one hour.
- Rinse your steaks, and lightly pat them dry. Make sure to pick steaks that are not too thin, and have the best marble of fat throughout when you're at the supermarket. The better the marble, the better the flavor!
- Combine the minced garlic, sea salt, coriander, ginger, and black pepper to make the rub for the steaks.
- Rub this mixture onto the steaks generously. If you are a fan of ginger, or would like more coriander, add more!
- Preheat a nonstick skillet on medium high heat for a minute or two, with the canola oil inside. While this is heating, cut up your spring onions. - Split the bulbs in halves, or quarters (whichever you prefer) and dice up as much of the greens as you'd like for the baked potato topping. Save the rest of the greens for a later meal (I usually plan nachos in the same week!)
- Place your steaks onto the skillet and leave them, moving them as little as possible. Try to only flip them once or twice, as this keeps them juicy, but gives them a nice crispy sear! Cook until your desired color. For a medium well, i let mine cook about 6 minutes each side. - (Although i did check with a meat thermometer afterwards)
- Once the steaks are almost finished, add the spring onions to your skillet, and stir them occasionally. They're done once they've blackened a little.
- If you are adding bacon to your potatoes, throw it in the pan now! I keep a few slices in the freezer constantly for this purpose. It's much easier to cut into little pieces when it's frozen!
- Remove your potatoes from the oven, and after the aluminum cools for a few minutes, remove the foil and garnish the potatoes to your liking. We do cheddar, bacon, sour cream and the greens of the onions. Top your steaks with the fried sprinf onions, and serve!
- Enjoy!
Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Many of us think that comfort foods are not good for us and that we must avoid them. Often, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be super healthy and good for you. Several foods actually do boost your mood when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out some of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to learn, are terrific at battling depression. You need to be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are stuffed full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that control your mood. Try consuming a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Put together a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent if you are wanting to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.
Some grains are really wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping increase your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods as well. Feeling famished can truly make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are easy to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your sugar levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly excellent for your mood. You were simply waiting to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you feel healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods as well!
See, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try several of these instead!
