Recently, I did a major Belcampo order and stocked up on a whole lotta meat—ground beef, sirloins, strip steaks, ribeyes, chuck roast, etc. I basically ordered a cow. Lol. But that only means one thing—getting creative in the kitchen and creating new and exciting recipes!

I’m also weird about dishes. Like, I LOVE eating my dinner out of big shallow bowls and I’m weirdly particular about spoons and the glasses I drink out of. (don’t ask…)

So since I love me a good bowl and also love me a good steak, why not combine the two and make a delicious (deep, shallow) bowl full of nourishing ingredients?!

I honestly could have called this recipe “The Good Gut Bowl” because there are tons of gut-friendly ingredients in here like kimchi and ginger, but let’s stick to a more delicious-sounding word, yeah?

Get ready to hit the Asian aisle of your grocery store because that’s where you’ll find most of these ingredients. And don’t be intimated by these ingredients—I promise this dish is super yummy and easy to make! You’re really simply cooking the steak, rice, mushrooms, roasting the veggies, then throwing all the Asian-inspired ingredients on top! :)

And if steak ain’t your thang, no worries, this dish would work well with chicken, salmon, shrimp, or tofu!

Okay, let’s get nourished!

WAIT! PAUSE! STOP! — There are a lot of moving parts to this dish so make sure to read the instructions through before you begin cooking!

Okay, NOW let’s get nourished!!!

Steak Nourish Bowls (yields 2 bowls)

Ingredients:

1 sirloin steak, ~½ lb. per person (I used Belcampo)
½ cup white rice (or more if you reallyyyyy like rice)
1 head of broccoli, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 container of mushrooms (shitake or baby bella work)
high smoke point oil of choice (coconut, ghee, or avocado is preferred)
salt & peppa

toppings/add-ons:

1 avocado, diced
sushi ginger (from Whole Foods)
kimchi (I like this one from Whole Foods)
furikake (from Whole Foods)
scallions, chopped
nori (seaweed), cut into leetle strips
sambal or sriracha
coconut aminos (also from….you guessed it…Whole Foods)

Instructions:

chop broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms (if using shitake) and prepare your toppings (this not only helps you when you’re ready to serve but also makes it fun! I put all the toppings in little bowls and made a lil’ nourish bowl station)
preheat oven to 425°f. place chopped broccoli and carrots on a baking sheet, season w/ salt & pepper, drizzle with a little oil (I used coconut), and roast for ~20-25 minutes (until broccoli is crispy)
while the veggies are roasting, bring a skillet to medium-high heat (this is for the steak). while the skillet is heating up, prepare your rice by adding 1 cup of water to a pot and ½ cup white rice, bring rice to a boil then cover and simmer for 10 minutes (or according to package instructions)
now that your skillet is heated, add oil to the skillet, and sear the steak for ~3-4 minutes on each side
once the steak is seared, remove from skillet and set aside to rest. add mushrooms to the skillet and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes, then turn heat to low and cook for an additional 3 minutes (this will allow the mushrooms to soak in all that steak flavor!)
optional step: once everything has finished cooking, chop steak into cubes and add it back to the skillet with mushrooms. add in broccoli, carrots, coconut aminos, and sambal and mix together for 30 seconds (think stir fry here)
begin assembling bowls however you like! serve & enjoy!!

notes:

coconut aminos are an AMAZING alternative to soy sauce and taste really great! I am soy-free (it literally destroys my stomach) so coconut aminos have become a #pantrystaple for me!
all the Asian ingredients I used here are from Whole Foods but you do not need to only shop there (this is just where I shop!) I’m sure your local grocery store will have a lot of these ingredients!! OR better yet, if you have an Asian market in your area I highly recommend going there because 1.) support your local markets and 2.) they’re also VERY knowledgeable and will help you find everything so you’re not running up and down the aisles looking for these ingredients! :)
