Nothing invokes the spirit of home-cooked food more than the aroma of beef and broccoli, first sizzling, then simmering, on the stove.
If you imagine it in your mind, chopping up the broccoli, mushrooms, and potatoes, then at some point, you can almost smell it cooking, and if you think about it for long enough, it may just end up as a requested dinner on your meal planner this week.
Set aside the thinking process, and let's get to the doing. In the first step, you will want to purchase a beautiful cut of beef sirloin steak. This is a relatively lean cut of meat but done the right way; it can be wonderfully tender.
You will want to pan-sear the thinly cut strips over medium-high heat for just a minute or two, then set them aside, and allow them to return to the pan once all of the other ingredients are nearly done cooking. In the end, everything can simmer together, coconut aminos included.
In the meantime, you may want to assemble a fruity salad with lemon dressing for a refreshing dash of pomegranate seeds and blueberries in your bowl. It can be consumed as a moreish dessert or a more complex side dish to bring startling harmony to your plate.
In the case of the latter, you may choose to skip the bananas; rest assured: the fruit is a terrific match!
