This Paleo Ginger Beef Stir-Fry is quick, loaded with veggies, and so delicious! A healthy dinner that is packed with flavor. Gluten free, dairy free, and soy free.
I just received a beautiful cookbook by Carol Lovett, blogger at Ditch the Wheat. The cookbook, of the same title, is packed with 120 paleo recipes that will not make you miss gluten, grains, or dairy at all!
There is a gorgeous picture of every recipe and the recipes are just pretty, they are practical too. There is a whole chapter on basics (salsa, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce), fermented foods and drinks (jalapeño peppers, kombucha, coconut milk yogurt), then of course it goes to breakfast, snacks, soups, mains, sides, and desserts. There are so many recipes I'm looking forward to trying.
Flipping through the book I immediately decided to make this Ginger Beef Stir-Fry because it has two of my husbands favorite- ginger and beef! He is a total lover of fresh ginger and I love that this recipe does not skimp on it. I love how fast it came together and how the veggies really made this a complete meal.
To make things a little quicker, I cut all the veggies ahead of time so they would be ready to go. I actually cut them when I cut the beef to marinade it. It made the meal so fast and I'm so glad the prep was all done. And I have to be honest- I was planning to let it marinade for 24 hours, but I got busy and didn't get to it until 48 hours- it was no big deal. Maybe extra marinaded 🙂 She suggests serving it over cauliflower rice, which would be delicious, but we went for zucchini noodles. They're a favorite in our house.
I did want to mention that I think this would still be super delicious without the sugar and that would make it Whole30 compliant- I'll try it that way next time.
This cookbook, Ditch the Wheat, will not just sit on your bookshelf- there is so much useful information in it that youll be using it all the time. And of course to make lots of delicious recipes.
