Mandarin Beef Stir Fry

IMG_3235
As a means to use up some of the citrus I’ve been getting in my CSA box, I came up with this mandarin beef stir fry. It’s fresh and flavorful, with a subtle sweetness from the mandarin juice. And, it’s loaded with veggies too.

We ate our stir fry over scallion cauliflower rice (recipe below), but zucchini noodles or leafy greens would be great as well. It’s also delicious completely on its own.

Cheers and enjoy!

Mandarin Beef Stir Fry

For the stir fry:

  • 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 lb grass-fed skirt steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3-4 Tbsp coconut aminos
  • Splash of good-quality chicken broth
  • 1 mandarin orange, juiced
  • Splash of rice vinegar (yes, it’s okay!)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  1. Melt the coconut oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and celery and let saute a couple minutes. Then, add the skirt steak and season with a little sea salt and pepper.
  2. Continue to cook a couple minutes, then add the mushrooms and carrots. Saute one minute more, then add the coconut aminos, mandarin orange juice, rice vinegar and red pepper flakes. Stir well, then after a minute or so, add the broccoli.
  3. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Once sauce has thickened up a little bit, after about 3-5 minutes, remove from heat and serve over scallion cauliflower rice, if desired (recipe below).

Yields: 2-3 servings

For the scallion cauliflower rice:

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 Tbsp grass-fed butter or coconut oil
  • 2-3 scallions (green onion), chopped
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  1. Add cauliflower to the food processor and pulse until it’s completely riced. If need be, you can do this in batches, depending on the size of your food processor.
  2. Melt the butter or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Then, add the cauliflower rice and season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Continue to cook a few minutes until cauliflower is heated through. If you like your cauli rice a little browned, you can cook it a bit longer.
  3. Stir in the chopped scallions and serve.

Yields: 4-5 servings

    […] 26. Mandarin Beef Stir Fry You probably won’t see another diet plan advocating the use of tallow in your cooking, and that’s what makes the Paleo diet so different. You can use things like bacon grease to cook your food and still be following protocol. This recipe is using skirt steak for the beef, and has celery, carrots, mushrooms, and broccoli to round it off. Many people are surprised when they see just how many vegetables are eaten on the Paleo diet. Basically if you’re not eating a substantial amount of veggies you’re not doing the diet right, so be sure to get some at every meal. […]
