Gundry, Steven R.. The Plant Paradox Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes to Help You Lose Weight, Heal Your Gut, and Live Lectin-Free (p. 175). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.

SERVES 4

1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 1 stalk lemongrass, dry layers removed, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste 1 bag Quorn grounds, thawed, or 12 ounces grass-fed ground beef 1 small sweet potato, baked, skin removed,
and mashed (about ½ cup) 1 omega-3 or pastured egg or Vegan Egg 2 tablespoon cassava flour 2 tablespoons avocado oil 1 can coconut milk 1 tablespoon coconut aminos Steamed cauliflower rice, for serving

Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass, and sauté, stirring frequently, until very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the curry paste, and cook an additional minute.

Transfer the mixture to the work bowl of a food processor, add the Quorn and sweet potato, and pulse until well combined (mixture should be a little chunky). Transfer to a bowl, and add the egg and cassava flour. Mixture Mixture should be able to be formed into balls. If too loose, add more flour, one teaspoon at a time, until it becomes more cohesive. Scoop the mixture into tablespoon-size balls, using your hands or an ice cream scoop. Refrigerate for 20

minutes. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the balls are chilled, transfer them to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and coconut aminos, and continue to cook, 5 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly. Serve over steamed cauliflower rice.

Does grass-fed beef have any heart-health benefits that other types of beef don't?

from Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D.
Possibly. The difference in the diets of the cattle changes the nutrients and fats you get from eating the different types of beef. Grass-fed beef generally comes from cattle that eat only grass and other foraged foods throughout their lives.

Often, conventional beef cattle eat a diet that includes grains, such as corn, at some point. When compared with other types of beef, grass-fed beef may have some heart-health benefits. Grass-fed beef may have:

Less total fat
More heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
More conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that's thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks
More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E
Lean beef that's 10 percent fat or less — whether it's grass-fed beef or another type of beef — can be part of a heart-healthy diet. Although many people think grass-fed beef tastes better, it's generally more expensive and there is limited long-term research to definitively prove that grass-fed beef is better for you. Talk to your doctor or dietitian if you're thinking about adding more lean beef, including grass-fed beef, into your diet.
