Preparation
Season the beef strips (¾ lb) with salt, pepper, garlic powder (½ tsp), and cumin (½ tsp). Let sit for 10 minutes while prepping the rest.
In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat tallow or butter (1½ Tbsp) over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but still pink inside. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced red onion (½ cup). Sauté for 2 minutes until just softened. Add minced garlic (1 clove) and cook for 30 seconds more.
Deglaze the pan with beef broth (¼ cup), soy sauce (1½ tsp), vinegar (1 tsp), lime juice (1 tsp), and smoked paprika (¼ tsp). Simmer for 1–2 minutes, stirring up any browned bits.
Return the beef to the pan and toss to coat. Cook for 1 more minute until heated through and slightly thickened.
Serve over a bed of sautéed cabbage or cauliflower rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil (1 tsp) if desired.
Wow! Nasty workout.
If this is your first time trying a 2000m row but have completed 1000m or more in one sitting, then good luck to you-Go for it!
If you have not done more than 500m, then scale the distance to 1000m for time.
The fun skill work at the end is a chance to build core strength and work on anti-rotational forces of single-arm loaded work.
Stay EXTREMELY strict on the T2B, hollow-rock and back extensions. For the back extensions, if you do not have a GHD, explore an extremely light Jefferson curl.
For the single arm deadlifts, challenge yourself with a barbell. A single dumbbell will do the trick as well, but position it beside the body like a suitcase for an added challenge. The DB is also much lower to the ground.
