What's Dad Cooking?

  Definitely a family favorite, and we gut out the carbs with Mission Carb Balance tortillas, with only 2g carbs per medium sized tortilla. Ingredients: - 1 lb. Shaved Steak - we use the prepackaged steak from the market, and cut across for finer steak - 1 medium onion diced - 1 pt. mushrooms, sliced - 3-4 Low Carb tortillas or favorite wrap - 6-8 Slices Provolone - or sub in your favorite cheese, can mix shredded w steak mix - Olive Oil for the pan, butter optional for the onions - Salt and Pepper to taste - I love celery salt! - Granulated garlic optional for steak and veg. - Optional Spicy Relish; I mix finely diced dill pickles, purple onions and banana pepper as a super zippy condiment, about 2 tablespoons of each is plenty.  Sweet relish is high in carbs, so I use low carb baby dill gherkins.

  A funny thing hapenned on the way to updating.... This blog has been running since 2011, and to both my followers, Thank You.
