Beef & Broccoli with Sweet Potato Noodles

I realized while looking through my blog...I enjoy two types of food: Mexican and sweet potatoes! LOL!!!! This one sounded interesting to me just based on the fact that the noodles were made of sweet potatoes!! I was ready for the challenge of making noodles with a potato!! I'm really trying to get out of my comfort zone while in the kitchen and trying new things like this once a week!!
Here is how you can enjoy this yummy meal:
Marinade:
  • 12-16 Ounces lean stir-fry beef slices
  • ⅓ Cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 Clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 Teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ Teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ Teaspoon sea salt
Noodles:
  • 1 Large sweet potato, peeled and spiralized
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil (or cooking fat of choice)
  • Salt and pepper
Sauce:
  • ⅔ Cup coconut aminos
  • 2 Tablespoon sunflower seed butter
  • 2 Teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Clove garlic, minced
Other:
  • 1 Small head of broccoli, chopped.
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil (or cooking fat of choice)
  • Sliced scallions to garnish
Instructions
  1. Place the marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag, seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and no more than 60 minutes.
  2. While the meat marinates, make the sweet potato noodles. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spiralize the sweet potato with the attachment with the smallest triangles. Lay the sweet potato noodles on a parchment lined baking sheet and toss with oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Set the noodles aside.
  3. Place a pan over medium-high heat, add the broccoli, fill the bottom with water and cover with a lid. Steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, drain the water and transfer to a separate bowl.
  4. Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  5. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat (or Wok if you have one). While the pan heats, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat the sauce over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer, then reduce to low.
  6. Place the oil on the large pan, and add the beef in a single layer. Toss for 2-3 minutes, add the broccoli to the pan and cook an additional minute.
  7. Remove from the heat and toss with the sweet potato noodles and sauce.
  8. Garnish with scallions and serve.
