Stir-Fried Ginger Beef with Shiitake Mushrooms Recipe
Author: 
Serves: 4-6
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound grass-fed beef, such as rib-eye, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (can have some stems, too)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ pound shiitake mushrooms, sliced ¼-inch thick
  • ½ large onion, sliced thinly
  • Juice of half a lime
Instructions
  1. Combine beef with ginger, garlic, olive oil and cilantro in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Bring beef out of refrigerator at least 45 minutes before cooking. (If you are pressed for time, marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.)
  2. Heat a wok or a large (12-13 inch pan) over medium heat and add half of the meat mixture. Season with sea salt and pepper. Stir fry 2 to 3 minutes, just until cooked. Remove the meat and stir fry the next batch, seasoning first with sea salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the coconut oil in the pan over medium-high heat and cook the onion until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the shiitake mushrooms and season with sea salt. Stir fry the onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms have softened and are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Return the meat to the pan and squeeze the lime over the meat and vegetables. Toss to coat and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
