HIGH PROTEIN MEAL

As a personal cook, if someone needed a high protein meal, such as an athlete that's training, and what type of sport he or she is playing, I would make sure that the proteins will be lean, and low or has no saturated fats. Saturated fats or animal fats can slow someone down, but if that person I am cooking for needs animal products, in other words some people just want animal protein, I'd cook for them some lean meats, or poultry. Meats meaning beef, lean cuts of it. Possibly some cuts from the loin section without the fat, and grilled with some herbs, and low in sodium. Or lean chicken breast grilled just the same. To be totally healthy, I would cook tofu, baked or grilled with a light soy and fruit marinade, or fish. Energy is fuel, and you need good clean fuel just like an automobile needs good clean fuel to run exceptionally well. Beans is another good source for protein, so I'll make a dish utilizing lean beef, and some vegetable protein that also contains fibers.

1 lb. lean sirloin of beef, sliced into thin pieces
1 cup crushed pineapples
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1 tsp. crushed garlic
1 tsp. crushed ginger
1 tbsp. minced scallions

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and let the beef slices soak for about 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat up the grill to high heat.
When ready to grill meat, place each slice side by side, and grill until the first sides are charred, and then turn it and then cook it to your liking.

* Make sure that the marinade, the crushed pineapples are tossed into the garbage, do not keep it and use for a dip, the raw meat that housed it can cause severe illness.
