Whole30 + Keto Asian Beef Stir Fry Sauce

The real star of the show is the stir fry sauce. It is a spin on my oh so popular stir fry sauce, but this version is keto, whole30, and I added in some veracha (keto sriracha) to give it a bit of a kick!

I use just 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch to help it thicken, but it is still whole30 + keto friendly.

Whole30 + Keto Asian Beef Bowls

The beef bowls are made with ground beef, green onions + bell pepper. I like to keep it simple so the beef and the sauce really shines. I serve it all over cauliflower rice.

Feel free to add in other veggies you have on hand. Celery, zucchini, green beans and brussels sprouts would all work too!

Meal Prep + Freezing

This is such an easy meal to prep, that I love doubling (or tripling!) the recipe, and using leftovers for lunches for the week. It will keep for at least 5 days in the fridge, and somehow gets more delicious each day.

It freezes and reheats like a dream! I’ll microwave straight from frozen, and the texture is just as good as the day I made it.

Ingredients 
 

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1/4 cup bone broth, or store bought broth, chicken or beef works
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, use coconut aminos for Whole30!
  • 2 tablespoons veracha, or favorite compliant hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 1 " piece of ginger, peeled and minced (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, grated or minced

Beef Stir Fry

  • 1 pound 85% lean ground beef, I get my ground beef from ButcherBox which I highly recommend!
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 green onions, sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • Garnish: sesame seeds and green onions

Instructions 

  • Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 chopped yellow onion, the whites of the green onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Break up the beef with a spoon, and cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked through, the onions are soft, and most of the moisture as evaporated.
  • While the beef is cooking, make the stir fry sauce. In a mason jar or bowl, combine the bone broth, coconut aminos, veracha (or hot sauce), tapioca starch, ginger + garlic. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • When the beef is cooked through and the onions are soft, add in the chopped bell pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it is tender, but still has a crunch.
  • Next, stir in the stir fry sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and all the beef is coated.
  • Serve warm over cauliflower rice topped with sesame seeds and the greens of the green onions.
  • Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 5 days refrigerated, or frozen up to 6 months.

Notes

Meal Prep + Freezing Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, or 6 months in the freezer. HEATING: Microwave until warm, about 3-5 minutes if thawed (I like to sprinkle in a little water to help it steam and prevent it from drying out), or 6-10 minutes if frozen. Or reheat in a 350ºF oven until warm, 10-15 minutes.
Substitution for beef: you could use 1 pound of any other protein, like ground turkey, pork, chicken, or even chopped steak, chicken thighs, shrimp, etc.
Substitution for tapioca starch: arrowroot, or cornstarch if you don't need it to be Whole30 + Keto
Substitution for bell pepper: you could use frozen bell peppers, or substitute basically any other vegetable. Green beans, asparagus, zucchini, brussels, etc.
Nutrition: Nutrition is calculated using soy sauce. Coconut aminos have a higher carb count, so adjust if using coconut aminos.
