Chili- Garlic Beef with Stir Fry Zoodles

A simple, healthy and packed with flavor dinner of Beef and Zoodles that can be on the table in 20 minutes or less.

If you like Zucchini and haven’t tried zoodles yet, you are seriously missing out! They are such great way to to elevate a meal while keeping it low-carb yet filling. I first tried making zoodles, a.k.a Zucchini Noodles when I bought a spiralizer  when we were doing a round of whole30 ( see more about that here). I especially love them in soupy noodle form like my chicken pho recipe. When making them that way I never cook my zoodles…just simply pour hot broth over them for a great noodle texture with a bite (see picture below)! However you can treat them just like noodles and give them a quick stir-fry and add whatever sauce or flavoring you may like as they are pretty neutral in taste otherwise.

Chicken Pho (Pho Ga) with Zoodles

If you’re looking to include more veggies to your diet or simple have low-carb meals spiralizing noodles a good way to have the texture and vessel to carry meats and sauces without the extra carbs. That’s what I did in this super easy and quick chili- garlic beef with zoodles. I added some shredded carrots and purple cabbage for a little more color and texture, but simple treated the veggies like I would noodles and stir fried them in the pan after the meat so they absorb all the flavorings left in the pan.

Easily adaptable to your tastes and for Gluten Free, Whole30 or Paleo diets by simply substituting the Soy Sauce for gluten free Tamari or soy free Coconut Aminos…this dish is perfect for a busy weeknight meal.  Here’s the recipe-
