Low Vitamin A Beef and White Rice Skillet Recipe

A hearty, one-pan meal perfect for your low vitamin A diet – tender beef with fluffy white rice, seasoned with rosemary for a simple yet satisfying dish.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 8 oz beef steak (e.g., sirloin, muscle meat, no liver)
  • 1 cup white rice (unfortified)
  • 2 tbsp Chosen Foods avocado oil
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh, not peel)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups water (for cooking rice)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the white rice: In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender. Set aside.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the beef steak into thin strips, season with salt and rosemary, and add to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F/63°C for medium).
  3. Add the cooked white rice to the skillet with the beef. Drizzle with lemon juice and the remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil, stirring to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes to blend flavors.
  4. Serve hot, dividing between two plates.

Why It’s Low Vitamin A: This recipe uses beef muscle meat (not liver, low in VA), unfortified white rice (no VA), and lemon juice (approved fruit). It avoids high-VA ingredients like orange vegetables, nightshades, or excess dairy.
