Healthy for the Holidays
Classic Roast Beef with Horseradish Yogurt Sauce, and Roasted Root Vegetables with Rosemary
Your classic holiday dinner just got a little bit better. By changing up some of the ingredients, you can shave off extra calories and fat, without sacrificing flavor.
What's healthy about it?
- Cattle raise exclusively on pasture and grass forage yields meat that is leaner and higher in Omega-3 fatty acids compared to regular beef
- Omega-3 fatty acids are important in managing inflammation and can be a boon for brain functions
- Grass-fed beef has a rich flavor profile - plan to make extra so there are plenty of leftovers
- Oven roasted vegetables are rich in vitamin C, stress busing b vitamins and trace minerals
- Roasting caramelizes the the flavors of the roots lending a natural sweetness - a guilty pleasure without the guilt
- Look for locally grown root veggies when you can
- Opt for roots your normally wouldn't choose, like celery root, parsnips and rutabagas - you won't be disappointed
- Using a low fat Greek-style yogurt instead of sour cream makes for a tasty accompaniment to roasted beef
- Make the vegetables the star of the show - 1/2 your plate with veggies
- Roast beef is a treat - so give yourself a serving about the size of your palm
- Adding a green garden salad is simple, elegant and loaded with flavor - fill up on salad!
