Beef is my favorite protein. This 20 minute Sesame Beef will make this nutritious protein be even more flavorful. A few ingredients and a few minutes will turn plain beef into a juicy delicacy.

This dish is a simple stir fry made with a savory sauce. It goes great with any vegetable, but I chose to use celery and bell pepper. The celery provides a robust crunch while the peppers give a subtle sweetness to the 20-minute Sesame Beef.

The sauce for this 20-minute Sesame Beef is prepared with coconut aminos, sesame oil, water, and arrowroot powder. The coconut aminos are a soy sauce substitute. If you can tolerate soy sauce feel welcome to use it. Meanwhile, the arrowroot is a thickening agent. This will make the sauce sticky and resemble that Chinese takeout.

About Chinese takeout, have you tried this 30 minute Beef and Broccoli Recipe?

The flavors are potent and so are the nutrients. The recipe uses ginger and garlic. Both of these ingredients provide nutrients which help reduce inflammation. On top of that, the sesame oil used in the recipe also delivers fats that are good for heart health.

The nutrients are abundant in this 20 Minute Sesame Beef. On top of that the macronutrients are just as well rounded:

Calories: 275

Fats: 15

Carbs: 6

Protein: 22

With a lot of protein and a dose of healthy fats. I recommend eating this dish the night of preparation, that is when it will taste best. If you want it for meal prep, I recommend 4 days. The beef I used was “carne picada” from Aldi, but you can use any thin cut of beef or steak that you find.

I hope that you enjoy!
