Braised Shiitakes and Beef

Meal: 200 cal Protein: 19 g Carbs: 8 g Fat: 10 g

These two lovely dishes have in essence the same sauce with a slightly different finish which makes them absolutely perfect as a stand alone dish or as part of a larger holiday celebration.

The average Beef with Broccoli at a restaurant is well over 400 calories – their sauce is much heavier and the dish is served with white rice. By adding mushrooms to our version, we’ve both reduced the serving of red meat and eliminated the need for rice. Additionally, our sauce is broth-based and all the sugar has been removed in favor of a very small amount of honey.
