Today we will learn how to make a quick and easy post-workout meal to have when your short on time.

We are making sliced roost beef bacon roll-ups, these are a perfect fast and on the go snack, a good option when you need something last minute.

And a good source of protein and healthy fats to fuel your engine and aid lean muscle recovery without the insulin spike and weight gain.

So here is what you do to make 2 of these roll ups, simply buy pre-sliced roast beef from the deli in your local market.

Ingredients    (Serves 1-2)

Roast Beef Bacon Roll-up 

• 2 slices of roast beef
• 2 strips of uncooked thick bacon
• 2 slices of cheese of your choice
• 4 thin slices of Pastrami
• 4 thin slices of Turkey
• 2 spears of asparagus
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach

Direction

1. First get a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Next get 2 large uncooked bacon strips, look for the thick cut ones preferably not cured in sugar and once the skillet is hot, lay the bacon slices in.
2. Once the bacon is crisped and has rendered its grease you can set it aside and add 2 asparagus spears to the skillet using the rendered bacon fat as an oil.
3. While the asparagus cooks you can lay out 2 separate slices of roast beef on a plate, then lay on two thin slices of pastrami on top of each slice of roast beef.
4. Then add 1 slice of any cheese of your choice, some good options are Colby jack, gouda, pepper jack or cheddar. Next, add 2 slices of thinly sliced turkey meat on each stack and follow that with a very small amount of fresh spinach.
5. Finally, when the asparagus is tender add a spear to each stack, then add one bacon strip to each. Then simply roll it up and enjoy!!

If you want melted cheese in your roast beef roll-up then simple microwave it for 10 seconds.

Now if you want the express version of this snack simply skip the asparagus to save time and still enjoy a yummy roll up.

This should help you get some post workout protein and healthy fats when you are on the go.
