Paleo Mongolian Beef and Broccoli with Cauliflower Rice
I love Flank Steak. I literally buy it anytime I walk into the butcher and see it in the case. It is such a versatile cut of meat, especially for stir fry recipes or fajitas.
Mongolian Beef is one of my favorite Asian recipes to order out. I do like to sneak in extra veggies whenever possible so I like to make mine with steamed Broccoli and serve over Cauliflower Rice. Sometimes I will also add some water chestnuts for crunch and texture.
As I have issues with soy, I use Coconut Aminos in its place. Seriously, you would never know the difference from a taste perspective. If you have trouble finding it in your local grocery, I order mine from Amazon.
