Steak and Vegetable Stir fry #Paleo #cleaneating #steak #vegetable #asianfood

Slices of steak mixed with fresh crisp vegetables and a flavorful sauce to boot, this is one awesome Paleo recipe if you are on the “clean eating” train!

I am a huge ethnic food fan, asian, thai, mexican you name it! When it comes to asian food, I am all about the sauce. One of my favorite dishes served at Pei Wei is Honey Seared Chicken, why? Because the sauce in this chicken dish is incredible. I could probably just eat the rice and the sauce by itself … hold the chicken.

So when I saw this paleo recipe for Steak & Vegetable Stir fry I was all over it because I love anything Asian inspired. One problem. There was barely any sauce to this dish! Eerr… do people not like sauce as much as me?  I decided to go forward with the dish anyways and so glad I did. Sauce or no sauce this Steak Stir fry is awesome! Plus it is packed with vegetables, and I mean 5 cups of vegetables!

Because I’m a mommy, most of the dishes I feature on Joyful Healthy Eats are actually our dinner for that night.  Usually after I’m finished making a meal I will get everything set up and take a picture real fast, most of the time sun/light is my friend.

However, this particular day was gloomy, rainy, and overcast all day. Which, if you are a food blogger, is bad ju ju for picture taking time. After I finished the meal I found myself literally running around the house with all my dishes set trying to chase the light so I could get a good picture. Keep in mind I have a toddler following me as well as a 75 pound lab, lets just say it was interesting to coral everyone and get the picture off. I ended up shooting this one the floor, with the backyard door open {while the rain is falling down}, and my son trying to grab the chopsticks so he can eat the prized posession.  Sheesh… the life of a food blogger. 🙂
