Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
• 300g (about 10oz) beef steak, thinly sliced
• 200g (about 7oz) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler and set them aside.
2. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the sliced mushrooms and onions. Sauté until they are soft and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Return the beef to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Drizzle with soy sauce, sesame oil, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Finally, add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss to combine with the beef and mushroom mixture and heat through for about 1-2 minutes – be careful not to overcook the zoodles to prevent them from getting too soft.
6. Divide the mixture into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley or sliced green onions, whichever you prefer.

Cooking Tips:

• The key to avoiding soggy zoodles is to cook them just until they’re heated through—if they cook too long, they will release water and lose their bite.
• Feel free to customize your bowl by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and color.
• For extra flavor, marinate the beef in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and some minced garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Nutrition Note:

This Beef and Mushroom Zoodle Bowl is an excellent source of protein and essential vitamins thanks to the beef, mushrooms, and zucchini. By switching out traditional noodles for zoodles, you’re getting fewer carbohydrates and calories without sacrificing the satisfaction of a delicious meal.
