Everytime I start to write a blog post for a recipe in a bowl, I want to say something about meals tasting better in bowls. Because let’s be honest. They do. But then I remind myself I say that EVERY time and now here I am again talking about how good it is to eat a meal out of a bowl. I know you agree so I’m going to leave this here and not worry about the fact that I need new material.
If you have a little mouth to feed, this recipe can easily accommodate . Below you can see how I fed this to my eight month old Charlie. Check out the Notes section of the recipe to see how to make adjustments for your tiny human.

Instructions
Paleo Spicy Mayo

Beef Bowls
- In a bowl combine the marinade: Coconut Aminos, sesame oil, ginger, 2 cloves garlic or 1/4 tsp garlic powder, & Sriracha.
- In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium to high heat. Add the steak. Allow to cook for 3 minutes per side, then flip and repeat. Allow the meat to develop a crust. Add the marinade to the skillet. Toss to coat the meat. Allow to cook for 1 minute before removing the meat and setting aside. Cover with foil.
- In the same skillet, add the ghee. Start with 1 tbsp and add additional as needed.Add the broccoli. I recommend cutting the broccoli into small pieces to reduce the cooking time. Allow broccoli to saute for 3-4 minutes. If broccoli is still tough, add 3-4 tbsp of water for a quick steam. If the pan is dry, add a bit more ghee before adding in the bok choy. Add the garlic (2 cloves, minced or 1/4 tsp garlic powder) + salt & pepper to season. Cook for 1-2 minutes, at least until the bok choy begins to wilt.
- To assemble the bowls. Begin with a cup of rice. Top the rice with beef, vegetables & desired garnishes. Drizzle with Spicy Mayo & Enjoy!
Notes
Kid Friendly: Before adding the marinate to the skillet of steak. Remove a child size portion and set aside. This will give your little one a sauce free piece of protein.
Additionally for the vegetables, dependent on where you baby is in their feeding journey. I steamed a few larger pieces of broccoli for Charlie seperately. But if your little is capable of using their pincher grasp, the smaller pieces of sauteed broccoli could be served to your child. Salt your veggies after removing a portion for kiddos.
