AIP Lemon Garlic Yak Steak with Parsley Sweet Potato Frites
Are you a steak lover?
Here we have taken the traditional cut New York Strip, but it's Yak! Have you tried Yak yet? It's one of the most healthy meats that you can eat. It is 95 to 97% fat free, high in Omega 3 oils, CLA's (Conjugated Linoleic Acids), Oleic Acids, and Stearic Acids (35% higher than beef as a percentage of fats that are good for us.)
But, what about the taste? Well, we barely taste any difference from beef. It tasted like a very high quality steak!
We cooked our AIP steak medium rare and it was juicy, tender and full of flavor. If you can get Yak in your area, give it a try
