Beef steaks stuffed with spinach

Thin steaks rolled around a creamy spinach and cheese filling.

Rico's note: Make this when you want a break from chicken while staying in high-protein territory.

Ingredients

  • 4 lean beef steaks, ≈150 g each (600 g / 1¼ lb)
  • 100 g (3½ oz) spinach
  • 100 g (3½ oz) reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (5 g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (20 g / ¾ oz)
  • salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder, to taste

Method

  1. Sauté the spinach in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and the minced garlic, until wilted. Season and let it cool a little.
  2. In a bowl, mix the sautéed spinach with the reduced-fat cream cheese.
