    If the mouthwatering thought of sweet and savory has been lingering on your mind all day long, yet egg muffins or apple butter chicken just won't do, then perhaps it is time to seek out an unknown recipe that offers a surprisingly pleasant aftertaste.

    Beef and Apricot Stir-Fry on a plate.

    Not a dessert, nor an appetizer, this is a solid main dish that aims to please everyone; plus, it is a great way to get your recommended dose of red meat in your weekly meal plan.

    Take a cut of strip or flank steak and slice it into thin strips to get started. Heat up a heavy skillet on medium-high heat, then toss in the meat along with a generous amount of coconut oil. Cook for a few short minutes, then add the finely chopped vegetables.

    The apricots come in near the end after the coconut aminos have absorbed and combined all the lovely flavors. A thought on apricots: though they are in season nearly all summer long, you may want to make this recipe in the white of winter.

    What to do, then? Well, dried apricots are sensible, provided they have soaked ahead of time. Apricot jam is another mind-altering option. Creativity is key to any sort of kitchen experimentation.

    While this beef and apricot stir-fry is low-carb and keto-friendly, you may, or may not, want to serve it that way. If desired, let cauliflower tortillas fill any empty space you may have on the plate.
