Fajita Grits (Corn Free)

By Heartweed

Servings: main meal for 2 adults and a 4yr old ;)


1/2 cup Cream of buckwheat (taste just like our Southern corn grits!)
1 lb grass fed beef- ground or steak cut in strips
1 cup or more of bell pepper cut in strips or diced
1 small onion strips or diced
olive, coconut, macadamia or oil of your choice


Cook buckwheat according to package: I used Pocono Organic Cream of Buckwheat- for 2 servings bring 2 1/2 cups of water to boil add 1/2 tsp salt , stir in 1/2 cup of buckwheat , return to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes stirring frequently.

I like to use cast  iron skillet for the meat and veggies. Coat the bottom with a little oil and add onions. Cook until tender (I like mine caramelized/slightly browned) Add the peppers and beef and cook until the beef is cooked through.

Spoon the cooked buckwheat in a bowl , top with the beef and veggies. You can also add salsa. You can also cook the veggies separate from the beef and layer: buckwheat, beef, veggies for a pretty bowl.
