Sirloin Pita Salad Sandwich
Lean beef is a great way to give your body the protein, vitamins and minerals it needs. Plus, few things get the mouth watering quite like the aroma of a steak sizzling on the grill on a spring night.
Beef is a healthy part of a balanced diet. It has eight times more vitamin B 12, six times more zinc and two and a half times more iron than a skinless chicken breast. South Dakota farmers take pride in raising healthy livestock for your family’s table. They provide their animals with a diet prescribed by a professional animal nutritionist, with protein-rich soybean meal, while providing comfortable shelter and carefully monitoring animals’ health.
In other words, beef can be a healthy and hearty source of protein in your diet. You can start with this zesty sirloin pita salad sandwich. You’ll find this recipe and more like it at www.midwestdairy.com/recipes.
