Asian Steak Wraps -Smack your lips, Lick your fingers good!
VSG on 05/17/12
My Surgeons office held a cooking class that gave us a few recipes and tips for cooking when you have had WLS. They showed us how to prepare the food and we were able to try samples.
I love love steak, and before the class, I haden’t had it since before surgery!! I can't wait to make it with steak next time, but the Chicken is just as delish! It took me about 30 minutes from the time I pulled the ingredients out of the fridge to table. This is definitely a new favorite.
The Chef suggested that if you buy skirt steak to buy it untrimmed and trim it yourself. If you know how to trim your own fat it can save you $4 or more per lb.

Did you eat the whole thing!? Looks like it could feed 3 people that had the surgery and MAN...IT LOOKS SOOOOOO YUMMY! I would most likely only get thru about a 1/4 of it. 4 months PO and I still can't eat more than about 2-3 oz per sitting...
Thanks for sharing the receipe. I'm gonna try it this weekend!
