Whole30 Asian Beef with Broccoli
For our second night on Whole30, we made Whole30 Asian Beef with Broccoli. While it is not in the book, it is Whole30 compliant. Throughout the journey, you will notice I mix Paleo recipes into our breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule. Many of the principles are the same, but you have to beware of dairy and honey that are allowed on Paleo. My theory is if it follows the Whole30 rules than pin away and cook later.
I knew on day two I would be suffering. The book calls day 2 and 3 the hangover stage. You are beyond tired, in a fog and needing a sugar fix. I knew the only way I could get past the hangover was to cook a delicious, full flavor meal to remind me that Whole30 isn’t the end of the world.
The Whole30 Beef with Broccoli did the trick. It wasn’t as good as my usual Chinese takeout, but it did the trick and helped me get past day one of the hangover.

- 2 Tbsp. Toasted sesame oil
