Perfect Lean Beef Recipe for Healthy Meals and Entertaining a Crowd

Did I ever tell you about the time I visited Gainesville, Florida and the surrounding areas, home of some of the most prominent cattle ranches in the state? I hung out with Brahma bulls, went back to college, learned about different grades of beef, saw “beefalo” on the side of the road, tasted sushi made of American Wagyu and even won a cooking challenge! This recipe for My Big Lean Beef Greek Wrap is inspired by that epic experience and our winning dish.

Florida Beef Immersion Experience

The Florida Beef Immersion experience with Sunday Supper Movement and Florida Beef Council was one of the highlights of my year 2016. You can read more about it here.

It’s All About Lean Beef

Beef gets a bad wrap when it comes to “healthy eating” but after learning about beef, where it comes from, how it’s raised, all the various cuts and nutritional values, this meat-lover is thrilled to keep finding new ways to incorporate lean beef into her diet.

This is why I’ve teamed up with Sunday Supper this week to bring you an awesome selection of Lean Beef recipes in addition to My Big Lean Beef Greek Wrap. It’s a good wrap about beef.

Did you know?

    1. According to The Beef Checkoff,

• Three ounces of lean beef has more iron than 2 ¾ cups of spinach.
• Lean ground beef has fewer calories than ground turkey with 162 calories in three ounces of ground beef to 176 calories in three ounces of ground turkey.
• Lean ground beef also has less fat than ground turkey: 7.5 grams for three ounces of beef and 9.7 grams for ground turkey.
• Beef is a great source of 10 essential nutrients: iron, choline, protein, selenium, vitamins B6 and B12, zinc, phosphorus, niacin, and riboflavin.
• A 3-ounce serving of lean beef provides your body with 25 grams of protein, which is half your daily protein needs.
• Research shows that lean beef consumed regularly, with exercise can help improve cholesterol levels

This recipe for My Big Lean Beef Greek Wrap is perfect for Easy Entertaining at home and the best part is that it’s in the “lean and healthy” category so no one feels guilty about enjoying themselves.

#HASHED Cooking Challenge with Florida Beef Immersion

It all starts with a team and I had an awesome one! Sondra Cernigliaro of GirlAbroad.com, Terri Truscello Miller of LoveandConfections.com and I called ourselves “Team Ya Ya”. With 20 minutes on the clock to create our recipe and shop for ingredients, we rushed around the grocery store like we were playing Guy’s Grocery Games on TV. It was quite hilarious. I wish someone had captured the perplexed curious looks of other shoppers and staff as 20 bloggers ran around the store. We were too busy, although not busy enough for a selfie.

We’re shopping for lean beef, but first… “let me take a selfie!”

“What cut of beef should we get?” was the question on everyone’s minds.

    – We knew it had to be lean.

Some great options include strip steak, sirloin, top round London broil, tenderloin, skirt steak, and lean ground beef.

We cornered the head butcher and begged him to find us the best cut of lean beef he had, at the best price of course, because we had a set budget. We even convinced him to give us butcher paper and twine for our winning presentation. He was a classy dude and found us a petite tenderloin on sale. We needed high quality, flavorful and a cut that would cook quickly. To win the competition, we went with the best cut of beef we could afford!

My Big Lean Beef Greek Wrap Recipe with GoEpicurista.com is the perfect easy entertaining way to feed a crowd with lots of flavor

Here’s a tip: Always ask your butcher for help selecting the best cut of beef.

The butcher is always my go-to-person when trying to decide the best cut for a recipe, to learn how to prepare cuts of beef I’m unfamiliar with and to find the best deals. For this recipe below, my butcher recommended top round London broil. It’s economical to feed a large group at a party, very flavorful, lean and works well thin sliced in a sandwich or wrap. The downside is that it requires marinating which is why you must plan ahead. But, it does cook quickly on the grill.

In the small test kitchen of University of Florida Department of Animal Science kitchen, all teams shared burners and ovens, utensils and spices. Chaos doesn’t begin to describe it! I don’t know how they do this on TV! We had 30 minutes and if you think that’s a long time (as we originally did), it isn’t! Our burner didn’t work, the blender wasn’t pureeing the cucumbers for the tzatziki and it was time to improvise. We seared our steaks, prepared our tzatziki by finely chopping and mashing the cucumbers, roasted our cayenne chickpeas in a pan (which may have been a tad too spicy according to one judge!) and ran downstairs to present our dish at the buzz of the clock. Phew! It was close and all teams did an amazing job. We won by a small margin but we were so proud of our dish. This is why I was excited to recreate it at home to share with friends and with you.

MY BIG LEAN BEEF GREEK WRAP

The name was inspired by the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The hijinks that ensued during the course of this competition were just as hilarious as the film but with less family drama and no Windex involved. (you’ll need to see the movie to get that reference. LOL)

The recipe is also inspired by the most famous Greek wrap of all, the gyro. Although it has some ingredients in common (pita, tzatziki cucumber yogurt sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion), it is vastly different in flavor profile and I think will become your new favorite. The addition of pan-roasted cayenne chickpeas gives it a nice flavor and texture contrast with the cool cucumber yogurt tzatziki sauce. The lean beef in place of lamb makes the dish much more approachable to everyone’s palate when serving at a party and its also less fat.

Greek Marinade London Broil Recipe

Having the luxury of time to plan and shop for this recipe, I chose a healthier but a bit more time intensive Greek marinade to flavor the beef. Top round London broil is an economical and full flavored cut, but it requires marinating to tenderize. The Greek marinade with garlic, fresh lemon, olive oil and a Greek seasonings blend was so fragrant and flavorful you’ll want to try it on other proteins too. Some choose to marinate overnight but you can still get lots of flavor with 2 hours marinating at room temperature. Just place it in an airtight bag on the counter and let it rest. This also brings the meat to room temperature before cooking, which is important for it to cook evenly. It’s what chefs call “tempering your beef”. Scoring the beef with small criss-cross incisions also helps the marinade soak in.

Grilling London Broil is easy as long as your grill is hot, at least 400 degrees F, and you don’t run out of gas. 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness will give you perfect medium rare. London Broil is best at no more than medium or else it will get tough and that’s no fun. Once you remove from the grill, let it rest for at least 5 minutes before thin slicing, against the grain.

    1. This recipe serves 6 full size wraps.

Ingredients:
2 lbs Top Round London Broil (3/4 – 1 inch thick)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 fresh lemon juice (approx. ½ cup)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons Greek Seasoning (see below)

Directions:
– Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
– Make small criss-cross incisions on the beef and place beef and marinade in food-safe plastic bag. Turn beef to coat evenly.
– Marinate in refrigerator as long as overnight or as little as two hours at room temperature prior to cooking.
– Temper the beef prior to cooking by letting it sit on the counter for 1 hour. (you may skip this if you marinated for a short time)
– Grill on 400 degree F, 6 minutes per side for medium rare (adjust based on thickness of the beef)

Greek Seasoning Recipe

This recipe yields 3/4 cup so keep the remainder in an airtight jar for future use on beef, chicken, fish and pork.

Ingredients:

    1. 2 teaspoons salt
    1. 1 teaspoon basil
    1. 2 teaspoons oregano
    1. ½ teaspoon thyme
    1. 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
    1. 1 teaspoon onion flakes
    1. 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1. 1 teaspoon dill
    1. 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
    1. 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
    1. 1 teaspoon rosemary
    1. ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1. ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:
– Mix all dry ingredients and store in airtight container.
– Great as a dry rub for steaks, chicken, pork chops, fish and vegetables.

Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

Prepare the tzatziki sauce after marinating the beef and store overnight to allow it to set. The key to the tzatziki is draining the liquid from the yogurt and the cucumber so the sauce does not get watery.

Ingredients:

    1. 6 oz plain reduced-fat Greek Yogurt, strained
    1. 1 large Cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
    1. 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (quarter lemon)
    1. 2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
    1. 1 tablespoon dill, fresh or dry
    1. salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
– In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients and process until well combined.
– Transfer to a covered dish and refrigerate at least one hour, best overnight.
– To help with a thicker consistency, drain the cucumbers of as much liquid by using a cheese cloth or squeezing.

    1. 1 cucumber, thin sliced
    1. 1 lemon, cut in wedges
    1. 6 pita rounds
    1. 1 head of Bibb or butter lettuce, leaves separated

Directions:
– Present above ingredients on a tray for guests to help themselves.

Pan-Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

Ingredients:
15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:
– Gently pat dry chickpeas with paper towel and toss with all dry ingredients
– Toss in a sautee pan on medium heat until lightly browned (you may also spread onto a greased rimmed baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes until lightly browned if you prefer some hands-off cooking)
– The spice level can be adjusted by reducing the amount of pepper and cayenne. We added a bit much for one of the judges which added some comic relief to the festivities.

Whether you are throwing a casual gathering for game day or having girlfriends over to binge watch your favorite TV shows, this recipe will be loved by both guys and girls. By having pita wraps and lettuce leaves you can give alternatives for those who are gluten-free or want a leaner version. The pan-roasted chickpeas and all the veggies also provide a filling alternative for any non-meat eaters in the group.

🍦 “Eat Ice Cream For Breakfast Day” was created in 2013 in honor of Malia Grace, by her mom and aunt after she lost her battle with cancer in 2010. Malia Grace loved ice cream and her family wanted to commemorate her birthday, 2/18, in a way that would be fitting for her. During her wish trip at Give Kids The World, she had the opportunity to eat ice cream for breakfast and it was a highlight of the family’s experience. 
🌎 Give Kids The World Village is an 89-acre, whimsical nonprofit in Central Florida that provides critically ill children and their families with magical week-long wish vacations at no cost. Every wish family is treated to accommodations, transportation, donated theme park tickets, all meals and snacks, nightly entertainment, and more. Since 1986, Give Kids The World has welcomed more than 182,000 families from all 50 states and 76 countries.
Stop by Kelly’s and pick up these awesome flavors! But, regardless of where you are, Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast in honor of Malia, and raise awareness for those who battle childhood cancer. 💛

💜 Feeling the lavender haze... One of my favori 💜 Feeling the lavender haze... One of my favorite foodie experiences of 2022 was dining at Salt & The Cellar by Michelin Chef Akira Back and spending the night at the new @ettehotel - a gorgeous boutique hotel with impeccable attention to detail! I even got to meet @chefakiraback 
So excited I’m going back tonight to check out their new Lipa Rooftop Bar & Restaurant and have reservations for Afternoon Tea next month! 
Add a visit to ette hotel to your Foodie Bucket List for 2023! 
A few favorites from my last visit:
🍸 Fantastic Zero-Proof Cocktails by @jarldevries: It’s Dry January all year long! Featured first is The Kraken, a gorgeous purple cocktail made with Butterfly Pea Flower Tea & Champagne Vinegar
✨ Toro Tartare: A gorgeous board with fatty tuna and accompaniments
✨ Akira Back Tuna Pizza: his famous dish is a Must Eat! 
✨ Spinach Oshitashi Salad: the most gorgeous salad I’ve ever seen! 
✨ NY Strip with Wasabi Kizami Butter, Chimichurri Sauce, & choice of gourmet salts. Amazing! Loved that Espresso salt
✨ Miso Black Cod, yuzu air, pickled cauliflower 
✨ Togarashi Fries & Kimchi Brussels
✨ Dessert: Yuzu Curd and Chocolate in a Cup
☕️ “Where The Cloud Ends” Zero-Proof espresso martini with Yuzu Tonic, Lemon Cordial, Espresso, 0% Coffee Liquor
💜 The lobby decor with lavender and green touches was dreamy.
🧺 They have a Laundry Museum! 
📕 The Book Room features incredible books. The giant picture book requires gloves to review as it is one of a few in the world! 
The hotel is focused on wellness and offers Wellness Suites completely equipped with a full gym!

Don’t let the casual vibe at @jujubysusuru fool Don’t let the casual vibe at @jujubysusuru fool you. The Kappo Bar Omakase experience with Chef Lewis Lin is out of this world (& Michelin-worthy!)
“irasshaimase / come in!” is what you hear first upon entering this revamped Pizza Hut building off Colonial Drive. Everyone is welcome at Juju, one of Orlando’s newest restaurants and one that belongs on every #OrlandoFoodie bucket list! 
I was invited to experience their Kappo Bar and it checked all the boxes for a truly amazing #MakeSomedayHappen experience.
The retro Japanese izakaya-style restaurant serves up a 10-course menu at the bar and a more casual a la carte menu in the dining room. 
Omakase menu changes regularly but always features the five primary cooking techniques (grilling, steaming, frying, simmering, and raw) using local and imported ingredients, in-house dry-aged fish, and binchotan charcoal-fired dishes. Everything is prepared right in front of you for an immersive experience.
And, Don’t miss the fun cocktails! I loved “That Old Pizza Hut” was like an orange creamsicle with Suntory Toki Whiskey served in a Pizza Hut cup! 
Make reservations and go check this Orlando restaurant off your bucket list.
Thank you Chef Lewis and Mai for your outstanding hospitality. I’ll be coming back soon!

Hello 2023! Why start the year on a diet? My new y Hello 2023! Why start the year on a diet? My new year’s resolution is to focus on self-care.  Eating healthy and exercising, sure. But also treating myself to more @gideonsbakehouse cookies, cakes & cold brews. Who’s with me? What will you treat yourself with this year?
You want something. Go Get It. Period!
This was my last purchase of 12/31/22... I wanted to start 2023 on a sweet note!
What if my 2023 resolution is to visit Gideon’s every month for their awesome limited-edition treats? 
I think that’s a resolution I can keep!  January’s Butterscotch flavors sound to die for.
Did you hear? The epic Banana Bread Chocolate Chip cookie is now part of the permanent lineup. While the Coffee Cake is my all-time favorite, this one is in the top 3! And, the original Peanut Butter Cold Brew is a must pairing.
What resolution will you set today? Go #MakeSomedayHappen 🎉 Happy New Year everyone!
