Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1-1/2 pounds steak (skirt, flank or sirloin: thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 1-1/2 cups broth (chicken, pork or beef)
  • 1 8-ounce package noodles: For Paleo and AIP
  • 1/2 pound green beans
  • 1/2 bunch green onions (cut into 2" lengths, omit whites so use full bunch for Keto)
  • 10 shiitake mushrooms (fresh and sliced)
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (OR real fermented soy sauce for Keto/ Gluten-free is also fine, including tamari)
  • 3 Tablespoons fat of choice (divided (I use butter, but for AIP and dairy-free, use lard, coconut oil etc.))
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar (OR for Keto: use brown sugar substitute like this)
  • 2 Tablespoons ginger (fresh and finely grated or minced)
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons tapioca flour (or rice flour is also fine for Gluten-free; for Keto: use 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum)
  • 2 cloves garlic (fresh and crushed or minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instruction

  • Bring large pot of water to a boil over high heat, if cooking pasta. (Skip this step if using Palmini.)
  • Meanwhile: Heat small skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon fat. Add sliced shiitake mushrooms, and reduce heat to medium. Sauté, stirring and tossing, until lightly cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Purée the sauce ingredients, including cooked mushrooms, together in the blender until smooth, about 30 seconds on medium-high speed: Broth, mushrooms, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, ginger, fish sauce, tapioca flour (or rice or xanthan) and garlic.
  • Boil the noodles until al dente, just slightly under-cooked. Drain.
  • Assemble sliced steak, cut green beans and green onions.
  • Heat large skillet over high heat. Add final 2 Tablespoons fat. Add green beans, reduce heat to medium-high, and sauté/toss to cook constantly for 2 minutes. I like to use two spatulas for quick wok frying of ingredients. Add steak and sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over all. Continue to toss and cook over medium-high heat until pink is just gone from the meat, about 5 minutes.
  • In large pasta pot, toss together noodles and sauce over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add steak and veggies, and toss again until well mixed.
  • Serve, garnished with optional fresh basil.
