Slow Cooked Beef and Broccoli (PCOS-Friendly)
If, like me, you like to cook in big batches and then live off the proceeds for the following day or two, then this PCOS recipe may be of interest.
Ingredients
Protein
- 22 oz Beef flank steaks (sliced into strips against the grain)
Pantry
- 1 cup Beef Stock
- 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1/2 cup Gluten-free tamari sauce
- 2 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
- 3 tbsp Arrowroot flour
Vegetables
- 1 Onion (diced)
- 4 tsp Garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp Ginger (minced)
- 3 Broccoli (cut into florets)
Other
- 1 tbsp Filtered water
Instructions
- [Optional] Sear the beef with coconut oil in a hot skillet for a couple of minutes. This allows for a deeper flavor and helps the beef hold together better.
- Add the beef, beef stock, coconut aminos, tamari sauce, sesame oil, white wine vinegar, Chinese 5 spice powder, onions, garlic, and ginger, into a Crockpot (slow cooker). Stir to combine, then cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- When it’s almost time to eat, dissolve the arrowroot flour in a little cold water, then add to the Crockpot. Throw in the broccoli, and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for a further 10-15 minutes, to allow sauce to thicken and the broccoli to soften.
- Serve over black/red/wild rice or cauliflower rice.
