Dinner: Steak + Parsnip Fries

From C&J Nutrition

INGREDIENTS

    • 2 parsnips, sliced lengthwise, into 1/4-inch strips
    • 1/2 zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch disks
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 8-ounce beef tenderloin

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice 2 parsnips, lengthwise, into 1/4-inch strips. Slice half a zucchini into 1/4-inch disks. Toss parsnips and zucchini with 2 teaspoons olive oil and salt and arrange in a single layer on an aluminum-foil- or parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.

    2. Turn oven temp down to 400°F and bake for 20 minutes, turning once.

    3. Remove veggies and heat the broiler on high.

    4. Heat an oven-safe skillet with 1 teaspoon olive oil over high heat. Lightly salt and pepper both sides of the beef tenderloin and add to the skillet to cook until bottom of steak is browned, about 3 minutes. Without flipping, place the entire skillet under the broiler to cook until medium, about 3 minutes under the broiler.

    5. Serve half (4 ounces) of the steak with the parsnip fries and zucchini disks and save the other half of the steak for Day 7.

    Notes
