Sam's Healthy Summer Series: Steak Jalepeno Pockets

  • Fire-roasted artichokes

With millions of tasty treats to indulge in, it’s not always easy to find meals that won’t take a toll on your health. Luckily for us, teenage chef Sam Stern (who wrote his first cookbook at 14!) was faced with a similar issue.

After challenging himself to create delish recipes based on seven of his friend’s fave foods, he gracefully produced his third cookbook Get Cooking, which holds over 100 recipes for great tasting and healthy foods. All his ingredients follow the food pyramid, so you can get your daily servings in with each mouth-watering meal. Even better, they’re easy and quick to make.

Get a sneak peek for what’s in store with a recipe straight from the book below!

Steak Jalapeño Pockets
 
 
Ingredients: (serves 4)

4 rump or sirloin steaks
8 tortilla wraps

For the marinade:
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
4 to 6 pickled jalapeño peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons of coriander
Sea salt and pepper
Juice from 2 limes
Juice from 1 lemon
1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of olive oil

For the fillings:
Guacamole
Sour cream
Chopped tomato or salsa
Iceberg or other crisp lettuce
Chopped red onion
Grated Cheddar

Directions

1. Smash the garlic, peppers, coriander, salt, and pepper together with a pestle and mortar. Tip into a jar or container. Add the lime and lemon juices, vinegar, and oil. Screw the lid on and shake.
2. Slap the steaks into a shallow dish. Tip the marinade over. Rub in well. Chill it for at least an hour (in your refrigerator). Return to room temperature before cooking.
3. Prepare fillings of your choice just before cooking the meat.
4. Get your grill or frying pan hot. Slap the steaks on. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until it’s done as you prefer. * Rest the meat somewhere warm.
5. Warm the tortillas in a frying pan or in an over until soft.
6. Carve the meat into thin diagonals. Chuck into the tortillas with the fillings.

*Beef is best when still pink inside.

Get Cooking is on sale now. To find out more about Sam and for where to buy, check out samstern.co.uk!

K. So for school I really enjoy freezing water bottles over night in the freezer so that I have cold water all day. My mom and one of my friends said that it is bad to freeze water bottles. I was just wondering if this is true. And if so why? Thanks.
Also, my school is planning a trip to go to France next summer and I REALLY want to go. The prob is that it is 3,000 dollars for the 3 week trip. I was wondering what are some really fast yet fun ways to earn money. Thanks!

Hey girl, that definitely isn't true. However, my suggestion is instead of using plastic water bottles (way wasteful to the planet) you get a thermos or aluminum water bottle you can just refill. The planet will thank you and you'll save a bit of money too. Your French trip sounds great by the way! Some good ways to earn a little extra cash (besides the water bottle, haha) is to babysit, petsit, tutor, and even sell some of your old belongings at your next yard sale (a lemonade and cookie sale there doesn't hurt either). Be creative and think outside the box. There are tons of ways to earn a little cash which can become a lot over time. Good luck!

i don't really like jalopenos very much. i like them mixed in with some foods to make the food spicy but not like this.

I don't think I'll be making that this week. Usually I make the ones that are snacks, lunches, or breakfast ideas. But it looks good though!

Hey, girls! Please check out my profile and leave a comment---thanks! I'm new! Smile
