Eating high quality meat that is as close to natural as possible is a very important part of the Paleo diet.
That’s why grass fed and free range meats in particular are usually very popular – they are generally higher in nutrients compared to the meat from intensively-raised livestock, due to the natural lifestyle the animals live.
So, here are five great recipes that include some nutritious, beef (just make sure you choose grass fed!) that you can include in your Paleo meal plan.
Sirloin Steak And Mango Salad
Serves: 4
