Beef Steak Chinese-Style (Paleo, Gluten-Free)

This is my third baby and I can’t for the life of me remember at what point I should be have the baby’s clothing, sleeping space and hospital bags ready. At this point if Michael Jr arrives, he is going to snooze in a drawer wearing some pink onesies. At least he will have diapers. We never run out of those while using cloth.

So, this is more a note to myself than anything that I need to spend a bit more time on preparing for this baby. Today, I procrastinated and cooked a bunch of things instead. One of these is my all-time favorite beef dish – Beef Steak Chinese-Style. In a restaurant, this would be served on a sizzling platter to much fanfare. I do not own one of those but the dish is still just as tasty!

Start with marinating some quality cut steak pieces for 4 hours.

Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Using your fat of choice (olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil or bacon grease), fry up the steak pieces until they are cooked.

Remove the steak pieces from the skillet and fry up some onion slices as well.

Heat up the sauce until it is thick and bubbly. Throw the beef and onions back in to mix with the sauce and you have your finished dish!
