Easy Anti-Inflammatory Beef Bowl
The anti-inflammatory beef bowl I make with 100% grass-fed beef tallow.
The star ingredient: tallow — one that is tested and confirmed free of 300+ contaminants like glyphosate (which is important as fat is where toxins are stored) — it’s rich in stearic acid and CLA so the toxin free fats can truly support my hormone balance, metabolic health & a healthy waistline.
INGREDIENTS
Beef (chuck roll): 16 oz
Either purchase pre-sliced (I get it at Costco) or slice very thin against the grain.
If it’s hard to slice, put it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes first.
Tallow: 1-2 tbsp
Cabbage: Thinly slice ½ a head of cabbage (about 4–5 cups worth).
Ginger: 2 inch, chop into 3 coins, peel skin
Garlic: Mince 3–5 cloves.
Enoki Mushrooms (optional): 1 pack. Cut off the bottom end
Coconut aminos: 2 tbsp
Fish sauce (optional but adds depth): small splash
White pepper: 1/8 tsp
Sea Salt: 3-4 tsp
METHOD
1. Prep Everything First
Beef (chuck roll):
Either purchase pre-sliced (I get it at Costco) or slice very thin against the grain.
If it’s hard to slice, put it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes first.
Cabbage:
Thinly slice (about 4–5 cups worth).
Ginger:
Cut off 2 inch
Chop into 3 coins
Peel skin
Garlic:
Mince 3–5 cloves.
Enoki Mushrooms (optional):
Cut off the ends
2. Cook the Beef First
Heat a large pan or wok over high heat.
Add a little tallow.
Add beef in a single layer.
Let it sear 1–2 minutes without moving.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
Remove beef from pan (don’t overcook — chuck gets tough if overdone).
3. Stir Fry the Veggies
Drain meat juice from pan. In the same pan, add a bit more tallow if needed.
Add garlic & ginger → stir ~30 seconds (don’t burn).
Add cabbage → cook ~5-10 minutes→ toss well.
Cook time:
5 minutes = cabbage softens but still has slight crunch.
5+ minutes = cabbage gets even softer (that’s how we like it)
4. Sauce It
Then add:
2 tbsp coconut aminos
Small splash fish sauce (optional but again it adds meaningful depth)
TINY pinch of white pepper (this stuff is potent. don’t overdo it)
3 tsp sea salt
Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes.
Add back the beef on top of the pile of veggies. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 min before final toss so cabbage slightly browns.
Taste and adjust.
Plate with Saffron Rice
SAFFRON RICE
1/2 cup short grain white rice
1 cup hot water
1 tsp of saffron threads
2 tsp grass-fed beef tallow (code MUMWITHABUN)
½ tsp sea salt
Submerge & soak white rice in water.
Add saffron threads to the hot water and let it steep for 15 minutes.
Rinse soaked white rice and add into a saucepan with the saffron water, tallow, and salt. Bring to a boil and then lower it to a tiny simmer for 15 minutes with lid on. Let it cool and serve!
Tasting notes:
Savory, slightly sweet from coconut aminos, garlicky, with rich beef flavor. Reminds me of an elevated yoshinoya bowl - healthified & much more substantial. ♡
