Jalapeno popper burritoInspired by @heatstrokes_outdoor_cooking but I kept it low carb! I loaded up a keto friendly tortilla with @brandingironranch Italian herb chicken, cream cheese, mozzarella, jalapeno and bacon. Crisped up the tortillas once wrapped and served with the remaining chicken and some hot sauce for good measure. I grilled up the chicken yesterday using @bearmountainbbq apple wood pellets for a nice smoke and the grillgrates gave me a good char on the chicken. Quick, easy lunch, low carb, protein packed and absolutely delicious! #burrito #lowcarb #jalapenopoppers #lunchideas #lunchinspo #delicious #wraps #bearmountainbbq #grilledchicken

Keto friendly Beef and BroccoliThis starts with velveting some flank steak (toss beef in baking soda for 30 min, rinse and pat dry) then seasoning the steak with @neilsarap asian rub and cooking over medium high heat in some @chosenfoods avocado oil.In a separate pan, some broccoli and carrots were seasoned and sauteed in the same way. For the sauce, I used a brown sauce recipe from @stepawayfromthecarbs swapping the fish sauce for Trader joes umami seasoning and I used @swervesweetie brown sugar. I would probably cut the sugar in half next time. To plate, I tossed the beef in a bit of the sauce, drizzled a little more sauce over the veggies, and garnished with a few sesame seeds. #beefandbroccoli #chinesefood #takeout #homerecipe #ketofood #ketorecipes #lowcarb

Ribeye and ArtichokeSmall changes can really elevate a simple meat and veggies dinner. Here I used a @brandingironranch Chimichurri Ribeye grilled hot and fast over a direct flame. The small twist this time, chili crisp. After slicing, I spooned plenty of that chili crisp over the entire steak. This adds even more umami and a touch of heat. Served up with a steam artichoke. A simple meal, easy for a weeknight dinner, but really hits a home run for flavor. Having the pre-marinated meats from @brandingironranch is an absolute time saver for cooking during the week! Grilled with @bearmountainbbq cherry wood, all those subtle layers of flavor come through.#steakdinner #meatandveggies #artichokes #chilicrisp #ribeye #bearmountainbbq #brandingironranch #weeknightdinner

Grilled Salmon over garlic and herb rice with artichokeThis is not a keto dish, this was cooked for my wife, who does not eat keto. The salmon was brushed in a dill mustard and seasoned with @spiceology over easy. It was then grilled at 350 over the open flame of my Yoder Smoker using @bearmountainbbq cherry wood pellets. When the salmon was done it was topped with a touch of chili crisp for a bit of added texture and flavor, layering those flavors!The artichoke was steamed and seasoned with a no salt seasoning from Costco. Served with a side of @laterrafina tzatziki feta dip. The rice was leftover from a dinner she had made the night before and was simply warmed. This is my entry for #thequenion fish dish challenge! #salmon #fishdinner #seafood #gourmetfood #foodphotography #healthyrecipes #finedining #bearmountainbbq

Lemon Herb Chicken SaladThe shining star in this salad is the @brandingironranch lemon herb chicken. Grilled at 350 to an internal temp of 165 using @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets over an open fire. I made this chicken the day before so it could be served cold over the salad.The salad base is a butter lettuce blend tossed in @chosenfoods ranch dressing, a touch of feta cheese and some @spiceology Greek freak seasoning. The salad is then topped with a few sundried tomatoes and marinated artichoke hearts. A salad pro tip: add your favorite seasoning or rub to your salads! You do not need to stick to fresh cracked pepper or no seasoning at all. A little bit of seasoning goes a long way on fresh lettuce! With the chicken prepared in advance this top tier restaurant quality salad comes together very quickly and easily for the perfect lunch. #salad #saladrecipe #salads #grilledchicken #bearmountainbbq #foodphotography #healthyrecipes #eathealthy #lunchideas
