Although I do my best to stick to a Paleo based diet, I am not a big beef eater.  I have nothing against beef, it is just not my Paleo protein of choice.  But, I found this beef and broccoli paleo stir fry recipe on “DietingRevisited.com” and I just had to try it!  I love stir fry, it is so easy and quick…not to mention delicious.  When done right, stir fried beef and broccoli should be a staple paleo menu item for everyone. Garlic and onions to give it the savory flavor I love and just a little cayenne pepper for that extra kick.

Start with the Marinade:

Ingredients:

Quarter cup lemon juice
Half cup olive or coconut oil (I prefer coconut)
Quarter cup crushed garlic
Quarter cup chopped sweet onion
Half tsp powdered ginger
Eighth tsp cayenne pepper
(optional: )Dash cinnamon

Directions:

Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan. Stir in spices and lemon juice. Make sure it is thoroughly heated and then pour into a Pyrex baking dish. Mix in your beef and refrigerate 6-8 hours.

Stir Fry:

Ingredients:

1 to 1 1/2 lbs. grass-fed pastured beef (Organic sirloin preferred)
1 head fresh organic broccoli, cut small
3 tbsp minced ginger and garlic
1-2 Organic parsnips, peeled, sliced thin
1 cup sliced sweet or chopped organic green onion
8 oz. Organic baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
Cilantro, a few sprigs, cut fine
1/2 cup olive or coconut oil

(for extra credit, grow all the veggies in your own garden)

How to Prepare:

Cut meat into strips. Heat the oil and brown the meat. Add all other ingredients and cook on high, stirring constantly until tender. Serve over coconut flour noodles or the old reliable “cauliflower rice”.

Trust me on this, anything left over is great as a snack the next day…even cold!
