Healthy Eating With Organic Beef And Pork

By Laura Roberts


As more people are finding the health benefits of eating natural food, they also find there is a learning curve when it comes to preparation and storage. For instance, some natural and organic foods, especially produce, does not keep as long as those edibles that are genetically modified. Even the preparation of organic beef and pork is a little different.

According to experts, having generous amounts of protein and fiber allows for portion control because both help people feel fuller faster. While vegetables can be a decent source of fiber and nutrients, few that are not loaded with carbohydrates have the ability to satisfy most appetites on their own. Vegetarian diets with large white potato or pasta entrees will not make anyone lose weight unless that person is physically active throughout the day.

Once the meat has been cut and sectioned off, there are many ways to prepare fast meals at home, even if a person is not a fan of cooking. There are some foolproof ways of creating shortcuts that are ideal for those who are often on the move from the time they wake up. This does not call for fancy equipment or preparation methods that call for specialized training.

This is also a good time to add a rub or seasonings to meat and let sit for at least a half hour in the refrigerator. To get the most flavor, seal and place the meat in the refrigerator for at least four hours before placing on grill or oven. In most cases, a bottled marinade can help the meat from going dry and give it some flavor.

Roasted garlic cloves with fresh or dried herbs is another option if one is looking to reduce their sodium intake. Just chop off a large garlic bulb close to the midway point and drizzle everything with oil. Cover tightly and place in a preheated oven for about 30-45 minutes. When the cloves have browned, just squeeze out contents and mix with chopped herbs.

In a small bag, add equal parts garlic or onion powder, choice of salt, and a combination of dry crushed savory herbs. Give a good shake until evenly distributed and taste with the tip of the finger. Add a very small amount of salt or sugar if the mixture is too bitter and shake again. Keep experimenting until the taste combination is good.

Making a seasoning blend is highly recommended for those with sensitive taste buds. Those making the conversion from traditional meat find that some cuts have a slightly gamey taste. For a spicy kick, blends made with cayenne or chipotle powder with a little garlic salt can be used for fajitas or hard shell tacos. Herb blends that use rosemary, sage, and thyme with onion salt are not only milder but more versatile.

For a lot of people, adding the right seasoning during the preparation often eliminates the need to drown meat in gravy or sauces. This also applies to any side dishes or salads being served, as creamy sauces tend to counter most dietetic dishes. Good alternatives to mayonnaise or sour cream in salads are plain Greek yogurt, eggless mayonnaise, or a creamy mustard blend.
