Sesame Peanut Shredded Beef w Spinach and Peppers

About

Slow-cooked ginger beef is shredded and cooked even longer in a keto peanut sauce. A few vegetables and plenty of sesame seeds rounds out the meal to give us spicy, sweet, chewy, and salty. Serve over cauliflower rice or enjoy as is!

Please note this recipe uses a crock pot, and stove top cooking so you may wish to plan ahead before you cook.

Ingredients

1 pound beef steak, sirloin tip, visible fat eaten
½ tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoon soy sauce
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon ginger, ground
2 teaspoon olive oil
2 ½ ounce orange bell pepper
1 ½ ounce spinach
1 cup water
2 tablespoon peanut butter, unsalted
1 ½ teaspoon, whole pieces sesame seeds, hulled, toasted, unsalted
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground

Instructions

In a crock pot, lay in the sirloin steak. Add in the first amount of olive oil, the soy sauce, first amount of salt, the onion powder, garlic, cayenne, and ginger. Cook the crock pot either on high heat for 6 hours or low heat for 8 hours. If your steak is especially thick, you may want to cook on high for 4 hours and low for 2-4 hours.
Once done cooking, use a pair of forks to shred the steak into small pieces. At this point, you can continue the recipe or store the steak in a refrigerated container until you are ready to use.
Next, heat the second amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add in chopped bell pepper and cook for about 4 minutes. Add in the spinach and continue cooking until the spinach has wilted and the peppers turn slightly golden brown.
Set the veggies aside to cool. To make the sauce, heat the water in a wide pan over the stove to a simmer. Stir in the peanut butter until your peanut sauce is lump free and smooth. Stir in the remaining seasonings to the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir the beef, peppers, and spinach into the peanut sauce. Continually stir on low heat until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients. Serve hot!
