Spicy Broccolini Beef
Cure for the weeknight rut.
Anyone feel like they get into a weeknight dinner rotation? Then you get sick of it and end up ordering out, and most of the time its crap right? Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE pizza. But I also know that we tend to start eating crap when we’ve run out of ideas for quick dinners.
Ive taken advantage of the shelter in place order in my city by working on some one pan quick family dinners. I know I added ribeye as the cut of meat, but that’s just my preference. you can use something leaner, or whatever is in your budget. As long as you slice it super thin and across the grain, you can’t go wrong with this recipe. if you can’t find broccolini, go ahead and replace it with broccoli florets, but just increase to six cups. Broccoli Rabe is even a suitable replacement if you don’t mind the slight bitterness.
This recipe very much is for my keto, paleo, and whole 30 peeps out there. It is times like these where staying on track can get difficult, and fresh recipes that don’t involve special market trips, and foreign ingredients can truly help. I understand the struggle. I’m used to going to the market several times per week, but I’ve limited myself to once a week during this shelter in place order. Some days I feel like an episode of Chopped in my own kitchen, just trying to use what I have on hand and make something fabulous.
If you don’t like too much spice, omit the red pepper flakes. This a complete one pan meal with 100% clean ingredients. This is definitely going into the rotation in this house! I hope you enjoy as much as we did!
