Clean Eating Beef Chow Mein


I will write a blog post about the insanely strict diet we're on, and why, at another point. For now I will post recipes occasionally that will help other families out!

This recipe is:
Grain Free
Dairy Free (if you omit the butter)
Nut Free
Bean Free
Seed Free
Sugar Free


I LOOOOVE Chinese food, but let's face it. It's generally NOT that healthy. With our strict diet, it made it seem even more impossible. I was up for the task, however.

I wasn't planning on blogging this meal so I apologize if the picture wasn't appetizing... But I promise the meal was TO DIE FOR!


Ingredients:
2 bell peppers

1 bag bean sprouts
1 medium onion
4-5 cloves garlic 
Handful baby carrots thinly sliced
1lb grassfed beef loin thinly sliced
1 medium spaghetti squash
Grated ginger

Instructions:
Put spaghetti squash sliced in half (with seeds scooped out) face down on a baking sheet in a 425 degree oven until it forks out into strings (normally 20-30min) remove from oven whenever done and scoop out and set aside.

Slice all veggies and meat thinly

Put meat in bowl and add black pepper, red pepper, and 1-2 Tbsp liquid aminos and toss to coat and set aside.

Sautee onions and garlic until soft, removed from pan. (I sautéed in grass fed butter)

Cook beef until done remove and set aside.

Put peppers and carrots and onions in pot cook until fork tender and add bean sprouts and cover until tender.

Add in meat and spaghetti squash and 1/2-1 cup beef broth. 

Separate 2 eggs and set whites aside. Temper yolks with cooking liquid and add yolks to pot to thicken sauce.

Add liquid aminos, red pepper, grated ginger, pepper, and salt to taste.

Plate up and enjoy!

UPDATE:
To make more sauce just add some extra chicken stock to the pot and temper and add 1-2 more egg yolks depending on how much stock you use. I would say 2 egg yolks per cup of added liquid. 


Serves 4 (We served 5 of us (2 adults and 2 kids) but it wasn't enough, we could have easily doubled the recipe and had no left overs.) Bigger families should double the recipe, or at least the veggies.
