Cocoa Beef Kale Salad

     I love this salad! Really, anything with steak in it I will eat! Kale is considered a super food, and is not only great for your body, but it's also delicious. It is high in fiber, iron, Vitamin K, calcium,  is great for the liver and detoxification, and has many other benefits! The first time I made this salad I cut up the beef into strips and then coated it... please do not do this needless to say I could not breathe when it was cooking in the pan. So coat the sides of the beef and cut it into strips once it has already been cooked! :) This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and also paleo!

• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
