A comfort food that's easy and tastes amazing 🫶

Today a girly started her flow.😭 So I'm cramping and iron is def low👎 and I needed something easy to cook that would be warm and comforting, and also bring my Iron up during this time.😋 so I made my beef stir fry because it's perfect for the first day of that cycle and cheap and comforting while I was hurting.🫶here's how you make it....💕

You will need

2 cups of white rice of your choice 🤍

1 Bell pepper 🫑

1 onion🧅

1 1lb of ground beef 🥩

2 packs of your favorite instant brown gravy 🤎

So first things first your gonna get a pot and your gonna cook your rice based off the instructions your rice package has. I used boil in a bag rice rinsed it well and boiled two bags in water for about 10-15 min on medium heat.Once that's done drain and place to the side in a bowl. After that I get my skillet and ground beef place the beef in the pot and season how you like. I used garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, salt pepper and Dan Os seasoning but you use what you like. after that I place that on the stove on low medium heat and while that cooks I dice my bell pepper and onion and place in my skillet with the beef. I then turn the heat up to medium and cook till beef is completely done and onion and bell pepper is soft . Once all that's done drain the grease and place beef and veggies in the bowl with the rice and mix. Season again with whatever you like I just did butter, salt and pepper and Dan Os and start on the gravy. Cook gravy due to gravy instructions however thick you like it and plate your rice and put gravy on top and you're done ! I paired it with some garlic bread I had left in the freezer and it was delicious! 😋

... Read moreComfort food evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia. This beef stir fry not only satisfies your craving but also helps replenish iron levels during your menstrual cycle. Beef is a great source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body, making it an excellent choice for those low on iron. Incorporating colorful bell peppers and onions adds both flavor and essential vitamins. To enhance this dish’s nutritional value, consider topping it with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. The addition of garlic not only amplifies the flavor but also has health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties. Pairing this meal with a fiber-rich side, like steamed broccoli, could further aid digestion and overall health. For those who might be vegetarian, substituting beef with tofu or tempeh can still deliver a comforting stir fry experience. Utilizing soy sauce or tamari will maintain the umami flavor profile while boosting plant-based protein content. This adaptability proves that comfort food doesn't have to sacrifice health for taste—it can be both nourishing and satisfying!
