My husband loves rice or pasta dishes with sauces – and this one is a really fast and easy one to throw together! It’s too heavy for the day before a long run or a race (due to the full fat coconut milk and the red meat) but it works really well any other night! If you can’t find bison or elk, do be sure to source out true grass fed AND grass finished beef (which is higher in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids / lower in omega-6 fatty acids than other conventional or just ‘grass fed’ beef).
Makes 4 servings.
