A Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich on Protein Pancake ‘Bread’
I was really craving a steak sandwich when I got back from the gym this morning but waaaa, I was out of bread! So I did what I recommend you do too next time you find yourself craving a sandwich but have no bread around: make some savory (protein) pancakes and use them as instead of bread. They’re a delicious substitute. Below you’ll find a recipe for these pancakes but, hey, you can use any recipe you want to make them (here are a few others). And you can flavor your ‘pancake breads’ however you want too. Here I used thyme. You can also use dried parsley, dried oregano, rosemary, basil, etc. too. And you can fill your ‘pancake bread sanwiches’ with all kinds of yummy fillings: like veggies, hummus, chicken, bacon, salmon or, like I did, some delicious Irish grass-fed fillet steak.
Ingredients
1/2-3/4 cup Rolled Oats
1/4 cup Whey Protein Powder
2 tbsp Pea Protein Powder
1/4 cup Liquid Egg Whites
1/8 cup Almond Milk
1-2 tbsp Cottage Cheese
Dried Thyme (To taste)
Herbamere (To taste)
Directions
1. Blend everything together.
2. Fry up as 4-6 patties (depending on how small you want them) on a nonstick pan with a tsp of coconut oil added to it to ensure they definitely don’t stick.
3. For the filling, I just pan-fried some Muscle Food grass-fed fillet steak (seriously guys, go order some) on a bit of coconut oil, sliced it, cut up an avocado, sliced some tomatoes, and BAM! I was greeted by a steak sandwich party.
