A good dish can turn a casual meal into a memorable experience. This week we look at three Asian recipes that can be served as simple but delicious centrepieces for an evening with loved ones or the family.
Asian beef recipes can have a nutritious impact beyond the table if you choose locally sourced natural ingredients prepared and processed with health in mind.
If you’re preparing a beef recipe for your loved ones, you’ll want to use the best ingredients, like Provenir’s grass-fed, grass-finished beef and all-natural grass-fed broth with no unwanted additives.
Why are grass-fed beef ingredients essential for beef recipes?
These three Asian recipes call for Provenir’s grass-fed beef mince, diced or stir-fry beef. So why should you use grass-fed beef and avoid grain-fed beef when making these dishes? In addition to the outstanding flavour that grass-fed boasts, these ingredients will bring health and environmental benefits to your beef stir-fry recipe.
Let’s take a closer look at your meat choices’ impact.
Health benefits
Grass-fed beef is leaner than grain-fed alternatives, so it is ideal for those who want to avoid excessive dietary fat. In addition, the natural, plant-based diet of the source cattle gives the meat twice the amount of antioxidants and anti-carcinogenic compounds.
Grass-fed beef is rich in vitamins A, B, and E and omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. It also has high amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), known for its anti-cancer and anti-diabetes properties.
What do these properties mean for your health?
- Grass-fed beef is lean, so it can help promote weight loss.
- The lack of additives creates a healthy digestive system.
- The antioxidants help fight inflammation, which can be the root cause of many types of chronic pain.
- The collagen in grass-fed beef is good for skin and hair health.
Environmental benefits
Provenir’s local approach further reduces the impact on the environment.
Firstly, the meat gets processed on the farm, reducing animal stress and negating the carbon footprint associated with transporting live cattle to a processing facility.
Secondly, by working with local farmers, emissions are limited when transporting the meat to the butchery after processing. This is important as the farming industry significantly contributes to global emissions.
Finally, every meat pack has a QR code that informs the consumer of the whole story from paddock to plate. This level of transparency gives you confidence that you know exactly how your meat was raised, processed, and transported.
Added benefits of Provenir beef broth products
The grass-fed meat is undoubtedly the most essential part of any Asian beef recipe. However, you should not overlook the supporting elements in these recipes, which can enhance the health benefits.
Provenir’s range of beef broth products has the same qualities and follows the same production values as grass-fed beef. In addition to using the same local, grass-fed, hormone-free meats, Provenir follows a slow-cooking process to retain nutrients and flavour.
Provenir avoids preservatives when packaging the beef broth, so you get a natural, chemical-free product. In addition, standard refrigerated shipping ensures freshness, whether you purchase in-store or meat online.
Our three healthy Asian-style beef recipes to cook up
Mongolian Beef
In this classic Asian dish, we swapped sugar with rice malt syrup to bring sweetness to the recipe without the high fructose or calories count.
We also use our The Best Broth – Roasted Beef Broth in this delicious recipe. This roasted beef broth is slowly cooked with traditional Asian ingredients like lemongrass, coriander stalks and ginger.
Sichuan Beef
An old Chinese favourite Asian is quick and easy to cook; it’s the perfect mid-meal to quickly cook up when you have worked well past your finishing time.
We recommend swapping out sugar, the traditional sweeter in this dish, with rice malt syrup to reduce the calories and fructose count.
Thai Beef Larb
This delicious Asian dish is an excellent meal for young families, especially kids who love to eat with their fingers. Serve the Thai Beef Larb in ice-burg or cos lettuce cups with fresh herbs, or serve with sliced and diced raw veggies in a bowl.
If there are nut allergies in the household, one can use our beef tallow to replace the peanut oil. Beef tallow has a high cooking temperature similar to peanut oil, replicating the quick stir-fry cooking process in this recipe.
