Clean Eating Crock Pot Beef And Broccoli

Not only did I have a HUGE hankering for Chinese Take Out food, but I knew that giving in would be a huge blow to my diet. I decided to make the leap, and go for a clean version of the sodium filled Chinese food. 

My favorite recipe site aka Pinterest! I found a recipe, and decided to take a leap of faith. I was a little leary, but wanted to give it a go. 

The original recipe said that his is a Paleo recipe, but it is not. There are several ingredients that do not fit into the Paleo diet. I did my homework on Paleo, and it is truly a basic, caveman style diet.

So, I decided to label this as a clean recipe!

I know that some of these ingredients are not what you would traditionally find in your kitchen, but I challenge you to try something new! I will be making this again next week. It was one of those recipes that I could not get enough of!! 

The coconut aminos can be found in the organic isle. I went to Woodman's and it was about half the price of other stores. I didn't use organic orange juice, and I didn't use fresh garlic. Those are things you could change to make it even more clean. 

When I made this, it had a lot of juices. I like my broccoli soaked in the juices, but if you don't want it as soupy, you can just cut the coconut aminos and orange juice in half. 

What you will need: 

1 cup coconut aminos

1/2 cup orange juice

3 tbsps honey

1 tsp fish sauce

2 tsps garlic powder

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 

3 tbsps arrowroot powder 

1 pound thinly sliced flank steak 

2 crowns of broccoli 

1/2 cup toasted cashews

1 bag of snow peas 

Instructions:

Combine all of the following ingredients: coconut aminos, orange juice, honey, fish sauce, garlic powder, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, arrowroot powder, and thinly sliced flank steak. You can cut the steak however you would like to eat it. 

Put the crock pot on low, let all of the ingredients cook and simmer for about 30 minutes. I was surprised how fast the steak cooked up. I cooked it till it was medium rare. You can cook it to just below how you would like to eat it. 

Once it was to my liking, I added the broccoli and snow peas. I let that cook down for another 30 minutes. 

This was something I made to be eaten during the week. I didn't eat it till the following day, and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious it was! I would highly recommend this recipe! 

Let me know how yours turned out!!
