Sweet Teriyaki Short Ribs

I love short ribs. I love the taste and the tenderness. I always make them steamed and fried with a Mexican salsa. But today I had a great idea. Teriyaki ribs! I used a low carb Teriyaki sauce by Seal Sama. It has 1 carb per tablespoon and it is sweetened with Splenda. It tastes amazing! Doesn't taste diet at all. I got mine at Netrition.com for $4.99. I highly recommend ordering some next time you place an order there. It would also be good as a marinade, or with chicken!

Ingredients:

2 lbs beef short ribs, cleaned and cut into sections
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/2 cup Seal Sama Sugar Free Teriyaki sauce
green tops from 1 green onion sliced at an angle



Directions:

1. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and garlic powder
2.  Follow the directions for my steamed and fried short ribs
3. Place the Teriyaki sauce in a large bowl.
4. When the ribs are done, add to bowl with sauce and toss to coat.
5. Sprinkle with green onion tops and serve!

I served this with Chinese green beans.


This is what the Teriyaki sauce looks like:

Deluxe Fried "Rice"

I made some perfect steamed cauli rice a few days ago and had leftovers. I used them to throw together this quick and delicious deluxe fried "rice" It's not much of a recipe because I used what I had on hand, it's more of an example of what you can do with leftover cauli "rice" Perfect for when you get a Chinese food craving!

I Used:

3/4 cup leftover cauli "rice"

1 egg

2 fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 green onion, including green part, sliced

1 tbsp green bell pepper, chopped

1 tbsp red bell pepper, chopped

1 oz leftover steak

1 oz leftover chicken

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp oil



Directions:

1. In a small bowl, beat egg

2. Add 1 tbsp oil to pan and heat to medium

3. Add egg to pan and cook until set but still a bit wet, remove and set aside, wipe pan clean

4. Add other 1 tbsp oil to pan, heat to medium-high heat. Add the meat, stir fry for  a few minutes.

5. Add vegetables in with meat stir fry for 3-4 minutes but leave them tender-crisp.

6. Add cauli rice in with meat and vegetables, stir fry for 2 minutes then add soy sauce and egg. Cook for another 2 minutes.

7. Serve and enjoy!

Obviously the carb counts will vary depending on what vegetables you use, but here's the carb count for this recipe the way I made it:  6.9 Net carbs

You could also make this with shrimp! Yum! Or just throw any leftovers in and it'll still be delicious!
