Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into thin strips
- 1 large Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 120 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until just browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the stir-fry for garnish. Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb, spicy beef stir-fry!
