Recipe of the Week:
Last week we threw everything in a pan and baked it. This week we’re going to throw everything in ONE pot and cook it! Hope you guys enjoy Lean Beef & Brown Rice Pilaf.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb lean beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch pieces
SUB: chicken breast, portobello mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon The Fit Cook Everyday blend
SUB: 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder
1 tablespoon The Fit Cook Land seasoning
SUB: your choice of dried herbs: thyme, rosemary, Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
pinch of sea salt & pepper
1/2 medium white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
1 large carrot, chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups uncooked (short-grain) brown rice
2 cups low sodium beef broth (or water, but not recommended)
8oz low sodium tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (OPTIONAL)
zest from 1/2 lemon
2 Bay leaves
8 oz broccoli (or Brocolini) florets
Instructions:
1) Set a pot on HIGH heat. Once hot, add oil and beef. As the beef sears, add the paprika, The Fit Cook Everyday blend and The Fit Cook Land herb seasoning. Cook for about 3 minutes, until sear marks begin to appear.
2) REDUCE the heat of the pot to low-medium and once the pot is cooler, add garlic, onions and carrots. Cook until the onions turn brown and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
3) The add in uncooked brown rice and stir continuously until every grain of rice is toasted and covered in oil and herbs.
4) Pour in the broth, Worcestershire and tomato sauce and stir. Add in the lemon zest and Bay leaves. Stir.
5) Adjust the heat of the pot to bring to a light simmer, then cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until the rice has absorbed the majority of the liquid.
6) Once the rice has almost cooked, simply place the broccoli florets ON TOP of the rice and put the lid on halfway to cook for the remaining time and to allow excess liquid to be absorbed and evaporate.
7) When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the broccoli and remove from the heat.
8) Garnish and enjoy!!

Recipe of the Week:
Here is a EASY recipe you can just throw in the oven. Try out Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables.
Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli florets
3 cups cauliflower florets
1 cup sliced shallots
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
4 large bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed if desired
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
2) Combine broccoli, cauliflower, shallots, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Toss well to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
3) Combine garlic, marjoram and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the chicken with the garlic mixture. Place on the baking sheet. Roast the chicken and vegetables for 15 minutes. Toss the vegetables and drizzle the chicken with vinegar. Sprinkle all with Parmesan and continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
