Today I’m bringing you another recipe inspired by my latest experiment with Butcher Box. I shared my honest opinion of this monthly subscription service for grass-fed beef, heritage breed pork, and organic/pastured chicken in this post. So, I had some thin-sliced beef that came in my box, and decided that I should either make pho or a simple stir fry with it. Since I’m trying to avoid grains altogether, I opted against the pho and made the stir fry.
This recipe is another one for the easy weeknight category. It whips up in no time at all with a small handful of ingredients (other than a few Asian pantry staples). I think you could easily use any cut of beef, or even swap out the beef for chicken or another protein that you like. Just be sure to very thinly slice or dice it so that it cooks up quickly. Also, I just eat this stir fry as-is, but you can serve this over rice if you or your people are into that. [Read more…]
I almost didn’t even post this recipe. I mean, it’s hardly a recipe. It won’t win any awards for “dinner of the century” or “best meal of your life.” But you know what? It’s a fairly inexpensive meal, it whips up in a flash, it’s comprised of real food, and it’s pretty tasty at that. Oh, and it hardly dirties any dishes! And then I thought, boy, when you put it like that, maybe this is a recipe worth posting! Maybe it is “dinner of the century!” (Probably due solely to the “hardly any dishes” part.) And also, that’s the whole point of my blog! Nutrient-dense cooking does not have to be elaborate, or fancy, or expensive, or time consuming. So, here’s a real life example from my kitchen!
