Sesame Ginger Beef Zucchini Noodles

Recipe Description

This Sesame Ginger Beef Zucchini Noodles recipe is another of my delicious healthy lunches, which I love to prepare in advance. I am obsessed with zucchini noodles or Zoodles, as I call them! They are a super way to cut carbs at lunchtime.

To make this delicious recipe, start by shaking soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and monk fruit sweetener together to make a sauce. Add beef to a hot skillet and cook it until cooked through. Drain excess grease from the pan if necessary. Push the beef to one side and add sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Stir fry and add the sauce. Toss to coat the beef. Cook until evenly coated and remove from heat. Assemble the week’s lunches by dividing up the beef between four lunchboxes along with the spiralized zucchini. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you are ready, simply reheat in the microwave until steaming hot. Mix the well and enjoy.

To make the Sesame Ginger Beef Zucchini Noodles, you will need the following ingredients:
