Anabolic Lifestyle: Pan Fried Rib-eye in Coconut Oil with Sauteed Kale and Boiled Okra

Pan Fried Rib-eye in Coconut Oil with Sauteed Kale and Boiled Okra

     This is my all time favorite cut of beef.  The only thing better is a "bone in" rib-eye!  I pan fried this baby in some natural coconut oil and it was delicious.  I added in some boiled okra and topped it off with sauteed kale.

Rib-eye:
1 rib-eye
1 tbsp natural coconut oil
Tony's herbal to taste
*brown on both sides

Okra:
4 cups okra
no spices
*cover with water in a pot and boil until soft
*don't forget that okra can be eaten raw

Kale:
2 cups chopped kale
no spices
*non-stick cooking spray on pan and saute to likeness

On a side note OKRA is a powerhouse of a plant!  It has many qualities and properties that help ensure a healthy diet.  Here are few facts about Okra:

1) High in fiber that helps stabilize blood sugar
2) Can bind excess cholesterol and toxins (bile acids) and helps to filter them out
3) It's a great laxative
4) It helps lower the acidity in the body which makes our bodies more proficient
5) It has been used for curing ulcers
6) It has been used for keeping skin healthy (less blemishes)
7) It has been used to lower inflamation in the body

    Wow, now that is impressive.  I understand that some people have an aversion to okra, especially in it's boiled form but there are many ways to cook and or consume okra.  Again, remember that it can be eaten raw.  Try cutting up some okra and adding some salt and vinegar to eat or just find some good quality pickled okra at a local farmer's market.  It can be cut up and added to salads.  You can even saute okra.  Heck, you could make up some gumbo.  Just remember that the more you cook it the more it loses it's healthy benefits.  This was a fun meal and hope you give it a try.

Thankful for God and His unending patience!
