A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and came across someone cooking on a Himalayan salt block.  I was pretty intrigued and ordered one right away to experiment.  It’s fantastic.

It’s like having a well seasoned nonstick skillet and beautiful plate all in one.  You probably have some of the same questions I had so:

  1. it does not overly season your food.  The salt is actually gradually absorbed into the food so it is “just right” upon cooking.
  2. it’s a great way to add minerals to your diet that can help balance pH levels in your body and aid in digestion.
  3. the surface is anti-bacterial so you don’t have to worry about germs accumulating/contaminating the surface (of course if you follow proper care techniques).
  4. it retains heat/cool temperatures for longer periods of time so it’s great to use as a serving platter.

There are a few other benefits but in all, my assessment – it’s worth it.

In honor of grilling season, I made some beef and veggie kabobs with an avocado chimichurri! It’s a little more keto than anything else and DARN good! Enjoy our Keto Beef Kebab Recipe.

Recipe 1

BEEF & VEGGIE KEBABS

Prep 5min
Cook 15min
Total 20min
355cal

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean top sirloin, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
    • Substitutes: extra firm tofu, large bay scallops, jumbo shrimp
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 15 thick asparagus spears, bottom removed then chopped in half
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed or avocado oil (essentially any oil with a high smoke point)
  • 5 hearty tablespoons avocado chimichurri (see recipe below)
  • Utensils

Steps

Step 1

Set oven to 300F and insert the salt block at the same time so that it heats up with the oven. Every 15 minutes increase the temperature about 30-50 degrees until you reach 450F – 500F of the oven. Keep it in the oven until you’re ready to use.

Step 2

Assemble the kebabs using the skewers. Since these will not be cooked over fire, it is not necessary to soak them beforehand.  Pro-tip: lightly steam asparagus in the microwave using a silicone bag (or on the stovetop) to soften.

Step 3

Remove the salt block from the oven and brush with oil. Place the kebabs on the salt block. For best results, place a skillet or weighted plate on top of the kebabs to help them get a good sear. Cook until your desired readiness, about 5 to 8 minutes then flip to cook on the remaining side.

Step 4

Top each one with avocado chimichurri sauce.

Avocado Chimichurri

Prep 5min
Cook 5min
Total 10min
188cal

Ingredients for 5 servings

  • 1/2 cup parsley (tightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (tightly packed)
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (red wine vinegar)
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • juice from 3 limes
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1 tablespoon cracked red pepper
  • sea salt & pepper to taste

Steps

Step 1

Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor EXCEPT for the avocado. Season to taste with lime, water and/or sea sat & pepper. You can also customize the flavor by adjusting the amount of parsley or cilantro. You can add more oil; however, I would only recommend this for those following a higher fat diet like keto.

Step 2

Once you reach your desired consistency and flavor, fold in chopped avocado.

Step 3

Enjoy
