Try this spicy beef stir-fry infused with a dash of Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and chili powder. The Ceylon cinnamon adds an ever-so-slight sweetness to complement the spiciness of the red chili and black pepper. The combination offers a fresh taste with pronounced overtones of ginger but no hint of cinnamon. You see, Ceylon cinnamon never takes center stage. It works behind the scenes to create a sophisticated taste combination.

Prep Time : 15 Minutes
Cook Times : 12 minutes
Yield : 1-2 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 oz. Beef cut into thin strips (1/8 x 1.5 x 1.5 inches)
1 Yellow bell pepper
4 oz. Mushrooms
4 oz. Green beans
1 Onion (chopped roughly into cubes)
1/4 tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon Powder
1/4 tsp. Organic Ginger Powder (or mashed fresh ginger)
1 tsp. Crushed garlic
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
1/4 tsp. Chill powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. coconut oil

DIRECTIONS

First, cut the green beans into 2-inch lengths. Wash and bring the water to a boil in a steam pan and steam for 8 minutes from when the water starts boiling. They should be slightly crispy but with the opportunity to cook further later.
While the beans are being steamed, cut the beef, onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Precut is easier.
Mix the 1/2 tsp. of salt, 1/4 tsp. of Ceylon cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. of black pepper, 1/4 tsp. of ginger powder, and 1/4 tsp. of chili powder with the beef. Set aside. By this time, the beans should be steamed just right, not overcooked, but slightly crispy.
Add 1 tbsp. of coconut oil and heat on medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes or until it's heated properly.
Add the beef and fry for 1 minute, then add 1 tsp of garlic. Wait for 30 seconds and add the bell pepper and mushrooms, cooking while stirring frequently for 5 minutes.
Finally, add the steamed green beans and onions and cook for another 5 minutes, while reducing the heat to medium. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt.
Serve the beef stir-fry on its own if you are avoiding carbs. If not, pair it with 1 cup of rice, which makes it sufficient for 2 people."

WHY CEYLON CINNAMON

Unlike the ordinary Cassia Cinnamon you find in stores, Ceylon Cinnamon has low Coumarin levels, so it won't harm your liver, especially if you are a regular Cinnamon tea drinker. Furthermore, Ceylon Cinnamon is milder, with a slightly sweeter taste. It lacks the spiciness of store-bought Cassia Cinnamon but offers hints of cloves and citrus, along with a wonderful, subtle aroma.

Ceylon Cinnamon is subtle and contributes to creating more complex flavors. In this dish, you would never even know that there is Ceylon Cinnamon, unlike Cassia Cinnamon, which tends to be harsh and immediately asserts itself, often negatively impacting the recipe
