So, a week or two back I participated in the Certified Angus Beef® brand's #beefcookalong.
Every month Certified Angus Beef® brand has a Facebook live where their amazing chefs cook up a delicious dish, then provide you with the recipe so you can make it yourself at home. Then, when you are all done whipping up that deliciousness, you take a photo and share it on your social media using the hashtag #beefcookalong so you can show off your culinary masterpiece.
This dish was a beef and vegetable stir-fry, and just watching Chef Michael and Chef Gavin cooking my mouth started watering, I could almost taste it!
Why, oh why, hasn't someone invented Smell-O-Vision yet???
I knew I needed to get into my kitchen ASAP and get my beef on. I love beef, and the Mr realllllllly loves beef, plus we both adore Chinese food so I knew this would be a huge hit.
Since I am trying to cut back on the carbs (oh pasta, how I love you so ?), I decided to forgo the traditional noodles or rice for some delicious zoodles.
I actually quite adore zoodles, they kind of fool me that I am getting some pasta PLUS taste so good.
Even Kevin likes zoodles ? and one of his favorite ways that I use them is in this Chicken Alfredo Zoodle Bake. If you would rather, you can make "voodles" like I did in these Roasted Sweet Potato Noodles with Pesto.
But the sky is the limit. I have seen carrot noodles, beet noodles, yellow squash, butternut squash, cucumbers, broccoli stalks.......you see what I mean?
I have gotten so many ideas from a few cookbooks like Inspiralized: Turn Vegetables into Healthy, Creative, Satisfying Meals, Spiralizer Cookbook: 103 Amazing and Absolutely Delicious Recipes, Spiralize It!: Creative Spiralizer Recipes for Every Type of Eater, and Inspiralize Everything: An Apples-to-Zucchini Encyclopedia of Spiralizing.

Beef Zoodle Stir Fry
This beef stir-fry recipe uses zucchini noodles "zoodles" so you get those take-out flavors you want without loading up on carbs.
prep time: 30 minscook time: 12 minstotal time: 42 mins
ingredients:
- 1 pound bottom round steak
- 1/4 cup gluten-free hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup low sodium Tamari
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste (or chopped fresh)
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons avocado or coconut oil
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch x 2-inch strips (can omit for strict keto)
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch x 2-inch strips
- 4 ounces fresh snow peas
- 4 green onions, chopped (whites and green)
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
instructions
- Cut steak across the grain into 1/4 inch x 2-inch slices. *See notes
- Prepare sauce and marinade by whisking together hoisin sauce, Tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a small mixing bowl. Pour 1/4 cup into a liquid measuring cup and whisk in xanthan gum; reserve for stir-frying sauce. Pour remaining marinade over meat in a zipper-locking plastic bag; marinate at least 30 minutes.
- Remove beef from marinade using a slotted spoon; discard marinade and pat dry.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or wok to high. Add the oil and stir-fry beef (in two batches) over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, remove from the wok and set aside.
- Add carrots, bell pepper, snow peas and green onions, stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in reserved sauce mixture, tossing constantly for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and return beef to pan.
- Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and stir for 1 to 2 minutes to coat them with the sauce and heat them up.
- Serve immediately.
NOTES:
For easier slicing, place the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to preparing the stir-fry.
