Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 6 stalks Green onions (scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or another neutral oil, for cooking)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel for better browning.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef slices, mix well, and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Trim the green onions and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add half the marinated beef slices in a single layer to the skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and repeat with the remaining beef, adding an additional tablespoon of oil if needed.
Return all the beef to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the green onions, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green onions are tender and the beef is fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried beef and green onions immediately, either on its own or alongside a bed of cauliflower rice for a full low-carb meal.
