Beef Tenderloin Served with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli
Steak is one of my favourite dishes, and I cook it at least twice a month, usually on a Monday, to start my week with a nutritious meal that sets me up for my shifts as a hospitality professional.

However, when appropriately paired with other foods, the benefits can be significant when consumed in moderation.
