Day 4 - Beef
Again, still feeling very good and energetic today.
Daily Stats:
- How does gut feel? Still no problem, feels good
- Hunger level? Not hungry. Had to eat for this test. Otherwise, I would have fasted.
- Mood? Awesome
- Energy level? Pretty good!
- Sleep? Good deep sleep.
- Delta weight since start of test = +0.8 lbs (increase of 0.4 lbs from yesterday).
Today I made beef cutlets with eye of round, and I re used the tallow from yesterday.
I started with two eye of round steaks that look like this
I pounded the heck out of it until it was pretty thin
Each side got a bit of salt, pepper, dried thyme and a squeeze of lemon
I let it marinate for about 15 minutes
I heated up the leftover tallow from yesterday and got it smoking hot, and then added the marinated steaks
Each side was fried for about one minute
The steaks came out and I let the tallow cool off a bit
I then mopped up the brown bits off the bottom of the pan (the best tasting part) creating a nice glaze on the fried steaks
This was the result
The steaks were tender with a pink center, and delicious brown glaze. The taste was something like fresh mozzarella cheese with balsamic glaze.
Since I will start the pork trial tomorrow, I had to filter the tallow and store it in the fridge. To do this, I set up a sieve over a clean jar.
I filtered the tallow
Jar set aside to cool before transferring to fridge
