4 servings
For the salsa verde
- 1 lb tomatillos (about 8–10 medium), husked and rinsed
- 2 jalapeños, stems removed
Ingredient noteJalapenos are low in fructose in small amounts, and this recipe stays within about one small pepper per serving, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid fresh jalapeno, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- ½ white onion, roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
For the steak
- 1 ½ lb skirt steak, cut into 4 portions
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
For the peppers and onions
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteRed and yellow bell peppers contain some excess fructose that a low fructose diet limits in larger servings; the small amount used here (about a third of a cup or less per serving) keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid red bell pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ¼ tsp salt
For the eggs
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tbsp ghee
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the tomatillos, jalapeños, and unpeeled garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the tomatillos turn from bright green to a dull, olive-green color and are completely tender when pierced with a fork.
- 2
Drain the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic, discarding the cooking water. Peel the garlic cloves. Transfer everything to a blender along with the chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until smooth but with a little texture remaining. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside.
