Variety is the spice of life, or so it has been said. The full line by William Cowper goes something like this: "Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor." Although he probably never had the honor to eat a wholesome and flavorful beef, ginger, and carrot stir fry, you can certainly try it at home this very week.
All it takes is a nice skirt steak which is thinly sliced, tapioca starch for coating the meat, coconut oil for frying, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and red chili flakes as an enticing sauce. Of course, as the name suggests, do not forget the carrots or ginger.
Many people associate skirt steak with being a tough bite of meat, which is certainly not the case when making skirt steaks with fresh mango salsa. Besides being a cheaper cut of meat with tougher connective tissues, skirt steak is one of the most flavorful cuts when grilled correctly, it is also important to note that it should be sliced thinly against the grain.
With all ingredients on hand, prep time is close to 20 minutes, but you will have to stir it while cooking, so adds another 20 minutes and figure that the meal takes less than an hour to get to your plate.
If you can tolerate some dairy in your diet, creamy mashed cauliflower will serve nicely as a side, keeping your time in the kitchen to a minimum. In a pinch, cauliflower rice sits nicely too.
