Today I'll share an idea with you with high blood pressure or hypertension, if you want to treat yourself to a piece of steak, try this simple recipe that has zero salt, none, nada! As I share with you my struggle with high blood pressure, and stage 3 kidney failure, and a diet that is supposed to prolong my life, quite possibly taking me short of stage 4 kidney failure, but want to have a piece of beef on occasion, and if you are not being a glutton, I think you'll survive for only you know your body, however check with your doctor and or dietician before cooking and consuming this recipe.
LOW SODIUM GRILLED FLANK W/ MASHED YAMS
1 lb. of trimmed flank beef steak
Spike seasoning (choose your flavor)
Fresh ground black pepper as you wish
1/2 cup olive oil
1 clove crushed garlic
1 bay leaf halved
1 tbsp. agave nectar
Directions:
Mix all of the seasonings from the Spike to agave nectar in a bowl. Place the flank inside the bowl, remember that when you treat yourself to beef, eat it sparingly, since 1 lb. is 16 oz. cut this steak into fourths, so you have 4- 4 oz. steaks. Soak the steaks overnight. Save the last 3 or share it with someone, you can also freeze it and grill it later but wrap it tight with freezer paper twice, and reinforce it with plastic wrapper.
Mashed Yams
2 large yams peeled and cubed
Directions:
Boil yams until soft, and then mash them in a bowl, season them with Spike, nutritional yeast, fresh ground black pepper to taste, and a tablespoon of organic sour cream, with some chopped chives.
When you are ready to grill the flanks, heat up any grill, charcoal or gas, and grill each 4 oz. steak for about 3 minutes per side, or to your liking. Discard the marinade.
Per serving:
1 large scoop of mashed yams
1 4 oz. steak
Add fresh greens or a nice salad
Tip: to add more after cooking flavors to both the steak and the mashed yams, try squeezing some fresh orange juice over it, or splash some Bragg apple cider vinegar over it.
