Low Carb and Low Sodium

My dad has heart issues, is diabetic and is a good ole country boy who only eats veggies cooked soggy and covered with cheese. We are trying to find recipes for side dishes and soups. He's not a fan of chicken either. We definitely have our work cut out for us. Thanks in advance.

STIR-FRIED BEEF & PEPPERS

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound top sirloin steak, sliced very thin against the grain
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 small onion, sliced thin, 2 1/2 ounces
1 small yellow bell pepper, julienned, about 3 1/2 ounces
1 small red bell pepper, julienned, about 3 1/2 ounces
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, (optional)
4 ounces raw baby spinach, about 8 cups loosely packed

In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil. Stir-fry the beef, garlic and ginger over high heat just until the steak is partially browned and some pink remains, maybe 30 seconds to a minute. Add the onions and peppers; stir-fry until tender-crisp about 1 minute or so. Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the meat and vegetables then stir in well. Cook very briefly just until the sauce thickens and coats everything. Serve over the raw spinach. It will look like a lot of spinach per serving but it wilts down as the hot beef mixture sits on it. There was just the right amount to get a bite of spinach with each forkful of the beef and peppers.
