Low Carb Thai Beef Salad Noodle Bowl

Thai Beef Noodle Bowls are full of beef, crunchy vegetables, and fresh herbs, over creamy coconut-lime-cilantro noodles. This dish is low carb, gluten-free & dairy-free!

If you have left over steak or roast beef and you aren't sure what you're going to do with it, why not make these noodle bowls? That's what I did. I used both roasted tri-tip and and left over grilled steak in testing these out. Both were terrific!

Don't like Miracle Noodles? You will like these. If my husband will eat miracle noodles in this Thai Beef Salad Noodle Bowl, so will you. What are Miracle Noodles? If you aren't familiar with the name, they are also know as Shiratake Noodles and Konjac Noodles. These low carb, gluten-free, calorie-free noodles are made from the konjac root which grows in tropical parts of Southeast Asia.

Konjac, also known as devil's tongue, voodoo lily or snake palm, consists of a large tuber or corm, a leaf with many leaflets and a large purple lily shaped flower. The corm is harvested, dried, and processed into a powder (glucamannan) and mixed with water and calcium to be made into or used in a variety of products. Glucomannan powder is pure fiber and is extremely absorbent. It is often used as a gelling agent, especially in Asian fruit jellies, but because it doesn't dissolve the same way that gelatin does, some countries have banned its use in these types of treats because of possible choking hazzard. Konjac root is traditionally made into a cake (a solid, firm, rectangular gel) and forced through a grate, making thick noodles. Now, it is made commercially into different alternative pasta or noodle shapes and even low carb "rice".

Miracle noodles contain zero calories, 9 carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber per serving, which is a net carb of zero. When first opening the package, one may experience a slighty fishy smell that some may find unpleasant. Don't worry, rinse them well and dry them with paper towels (squeezing or ringing them out slightly) and they will be ready to absorb any flavor they are introduced to. I prefer to order mine from Konjac Foods but they can be purchased through Miracle Noodle or Amazon. The best price I have seen is from Konjac Foods, but I see that they are currently low in their stock. I also buy my glucomannon powder from them (or Netrition) which I use to make one carb tortillas.

This recipe is so super easy to put together. I developed it to use-up some left over steak, but you can grill some up special for it. Make sure to slice it super thin - a good sharp knife is essential. You could really put any vegetable you want on this noodle bowl, but I chose the vegetables I usually see in a great Thai beef salad. The net carbs (10) for this Thai Beef Salad Noodle Bowl is a little higher than most of my main meal recipes, but it is a complete and satisfying meal all on its own. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
