Fragrant Lemongrass beef
Description
I love the fragrant lemongrass beef with those common South East Asian flavours. They complement beef so well and work just as well with mushrooms for a plant based option. This meal is fast, and can be paired with rice, noodles or other vegetables for a low carb option in the evening.
Ingredients
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 large stalks finely chopped lemongrass (outer skin removed)
1 inch peeled and slice ginger
2 cloves of sliced garlic
5 shallots thinly sliced
3 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp coconut sugar
500g stir fry beef, or cooked beef leftovers
1 cup of water
1 small bunch of fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Heat your oil and fry off the lemongrass, ginger, garlic and onions
Add tamari and coconut sugar with beef
Fry until the meat is just cooked through
Add the water and turn the heat to simmer and create a little gravy
After a few minutes the flavours have had chance to come together
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped coriander
Notes
I’m not a fan of the overly processed meat substitutes on the market, so reading ingredients labels and checking for whole foods ingredients is important on meat substitutes
Shiitake mushrooms provide a great alternative to the beef
This dish matches well with steamed jasmine rice, rice noodles and green vegetables
