Ingredients:
1 T-bone steak (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
6 jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined for easy digestion)
1 large baked potato (a great source of energy and dietary fiber)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for a calcium boost to support bone health)
2 tbsp butter (use in moderation for heart-healthy meals)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 ears of corn on the cob (rich in antioxidants and good for vision health)
Olive oil (contains heart-healthy fats)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to high heat to ensure even cooking and reduce fat content for a heart-healthy meal.
2. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Remember, lean cuts like T-bone can be part of a healthy diet when enjoyed in moderation as recommended by your health insurance’s wellness program.
3. Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grilled corn is rich in nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin, which may reduce healthcare costs related to eye health.
4. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or longer if you prefer well-done), following your dietary plan’s guidelines on protein consumption for better heart health.
5. Add the corn to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through (10-15 minutes). Whole grains like corn are encouraged in many insurance plans promoting balanced nutrition.
6. Prepare the baked potato by cutting it in half and fluffing the inside with a fork. Potatoes provide potassium, which is vital for controlling blood pressure, potentially reducing hypertension-related claims.
7. Top the potato with 1 tbsp of butter (in moderation) and cheddar cheese for a calcium boost, supporting stronger bones and joint health as promoted by many health insurance wellness programs.
8. Melt the cheese by returning the potato to the oven or microwave, ensuring it’s warm and comforting without too many added fats, aligned with healthy eating guidelines.
9. Cook the shrimp in a separate pan with 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat until pink (2-3 minutes per side). Seafood like shrimp is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, reducing inflammation and improving heart health, potentially lowering insurance costs.
