Ingredients
1.5 lbs Flank Steak or Sirloin, thinly sliced against the grai
3 Large Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow, Green), sliced into strips
1 White Onion, sliced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated
1/2 cup Coconut Aminos
1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
2 teaspoons Arrowroot Powder (cornstarch alternative)
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil for high-heat cooking
Green Onions, sliced (for garnish)
Toasted Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
Red Pepper Flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice your steak into very thin strips, ensuring you cut against the grain to maximize tenderness. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, toasted sesame oil, and arrowroot powder to create the sauce base
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with one tablespoon of avocado oil. Once heated, add the beef strips in a single layer, searing them for about 2 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers; stir frequently for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp
- Create a well in the center of the pan; add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant
- Return the seared beef and any accumulated juices to the pan. Pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh green onions and sesame seeds before serving
Notes
Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the meat instantly for best texture.
Pat beef dry with a paper towel before cooking to improve sear quality.
Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
