Erin's Beef & Noodle Bowls

Whether you are looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a reliable meal prep option for the week, these beef and noodle bowls hit the perfect balance of savory, sweet, with just a touch of spice. This recipe transforms simple ground beef and packaged noodles into a nutrient-dense meal by packing in volume with crisp cabbage and broccoli slaw.

The sauce brings together fresh ginger, sriracha, and coconut aminos for a punchy flavor that tastes like a treat but keeps you on track. This entire meal comes together in under 20 minutes, delivering 29 grams of protein and 424 calories per serving (see instructions below on how to bump protein). It is a flavorful, Erin approved way to hit your daily goals without spending all evening in the kitchen or settling for takeout.

Ingredients

• 1 bag of coleslaw mix or finely shredded cabbage

• ½ bag broccoli slaw

• 1 pound of lean Ground beef >90%

• 2 packs Momofuku noodles (soy & scallion flavor)

• Bone broth

• Green onions

• Sesame seeds or EBTB seasoning

• 2T soy sauce or tamari
  

Sauce

• 3T liquid allulose sweetener (if you want you can use honey but it will significantly change the nutrition facts)

• 3 Tablespoons Coconut Aminos 

• 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar

• 2 Tablespoons Sriracha

• 1 Tablespoon grated ginger (or 3 frozen cubes)

• ¼ cup Water
  

  

Instructions

1. Cook the noodles as directed on the bag. Drain, add the sauce packet to the noodles, and set aside. 

2. In a large skillet on medium heat, add a bit of bone broth. Add the slaws and cook until desired doneness (I like about 3-4 minutes to soften them up a bit.) Add to a bowl, add 2T soy sauce, stir, and set aside.

3. Next add the ground beef to the same pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until done. Whisk the sauce ingredients together while the beef is cooking.

4. When it’s done, add the sauce to the cooked ground beef on low-medium heat. Stir until combined and reduce the sauce until it appears a bit sticky 2-3 minutes. 

5. Add the slaw mixture to the noodles and stir to combine. 

6. Add ¼ of the noodle & veggie mixture to a large bowl. 

7. Top with ¼ of the beef mixture (about 4oz).

8. Top with green onion and sesame seeds. 

9. Enjoy!
