Beef and Bok Choy Stir Fry

December 6, 2015

A simple 7 ingredient stir fry recipe featuring one of my favorite vegetables, bok choy (aka Chinese cabbage). Bok choy is super low in calories but has tons of Vitamin A and Vitamin C and it adds a nice crisp texture to this dish. Since I try to limit the amount of grains I eat whenever (possible because grains can cause inflammation in your body,) I always choose grass-fed beef over grain-fed. And, not to mention, grass-fed beef generally has less fat than grain-fed beef.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin
  • 6 heads of baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger paste
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • sesame seeds (optional)
beef and bok choy ingredients

Directions:

  1. Season the beef to taste with sea salt and pepper.
  2. Warm the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
  3. Add the ginger and garlic and stir fry for about 1 minute.
  4. Add the beef and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the meat. I usually take it off the stove when it is still pink because it will continue to cook and will cook again once you add it back into the stir fry. 
  5. Transfer the beef to a bowl.
  6. Add the onion to the hot skillet or wok and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Add the bok choy and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Return the beef to the stir fry, add the fish sauce and mix well.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
