Steak and Fennel Pasta

I just made a wonderful dish from Cooking Light magazine last night. Oddest combination as far as taste but a great combination for nutrition.

Simple. Just heat up a tablespoon of EVOO in a pan and add 2 fennel bulbs (thinly sliced) and cook for 5 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup of black olives (pitted) and one diced jalapeno. Cook another minutes and you're done.

Slice up any lean steak cut like fajita slices, season with salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes in another saute pan.

Add either brown rice or whole wheat pasta (cooked) to a bowl and top with the fennel combo and then some slices of steak.

It was really good and so good for you.

Fennel is super low in calories, low GI index and good fiber source. Olives are a great source of Omega 3s, jalapenos have a chemical compound that kick up your metabolism and they are also a good source of fiber and low GI Index.

Flank steak is an excellent source of iron and protein and whole wheat pasta will give you the filling whole grain nutrition you need.
