Hey bud, keep up the good work on the site.

Hmmm recipes...well I have one or two I know of and thats Italian Steak and pasta.

I know pasta tends to retain water, but you can do this with Rice if you want to. I prefer about 75g of brown pasta.

Basically you need a small piece of steak and dice it into nice chunky pieces. Pepper it, add some onions and garlics, and then leave it in a bowl for a good halfhour covered.

15 minutes later start the pasta. During that cooking time you will need a tine of chopped tomatoes and some nice herbs (Coriander, etc...) Bang the herbs into the tomotoes and the stir fry the steak with water to aist the pan rather than oil.

When its done to the right cooking level (Rare, Medium, Welldone, etc...) Add the tomatoes.

Rinse out the pasta, and then add the now tomatoe steak to it, bring to the boil with the pan covered, and let that boil for about 5 minutes to warm things through.

Basically you have got the carbs from the pasta and plenty of protein from the steak, and it doesn't taste that bad!!

Bon apetite!
