Foods to support immunity
🛒 Ingredients You Will Need
- 1 lb Grass-fed sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes 🥩
- 8 oz Fresh mushrooms (crimini, button, or shiitake), sliced 🍄
- 5-6 cloves Fresh garlic, finely minced (the more, the better!) 🧄
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder 🟡
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or butter 🧈
- 1/2 Red onion, diced 🧅
- 1 cup Shredded carrots (for an extra splash of color and Vitamin A!) 🥕
- Salt and black pepper to taste 🧂
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish 🌿
🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Sear the Beef: Pat your steak cubes completely dry with a paper towel and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat your olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef cubes in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes to lock in a gorgeous golden-brown crust, then toss and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the beef to a side plate. 🥩🔥
- Sauté the Aromatics: Lower the heat to medium. In the same skillet with the leftover juices, drop in your diced onion and shredded carrots. Cook for 3 minutes until softened. 🧅🥕
- Brown the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and develop a beautiful, rich brown color, just like the lovely presentation textures in 🍄
- Activate the Spices: Push the vegetables to the side of the pan. Drop in your minced garlic and turmeric powder into the center. Sauté for just 30 to 60 seconds until the kitchen fills with a warm, fragrant aroma. Pro-tip: The black pepper used on the beef will automatically help your body absorb the healing curcumin in the turmeric! 🧄🟡⏳
- Combine and Finish: Toss the seared beef cubes back into the skillet along with any resting juices. Stir everything together for 1 to 2 minutes until the ingredients are well combined and heated through. 🧑🍳
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the heat, shower the skillet with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately while it’s steaming hot! 🍽️🎉
