Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 1 unit Onion (medium, sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain and place it in a medium bowl.
In the bowl with the beef, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix to coat the beef evenly and let it marinate for 10 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
Slice the onion into thin wedges and mince the garlic. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Add the marinated beef to the wok in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not completely cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.
In the same wok, add another tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the beef to the wok, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and the optional red pepper flakes. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately as a standalone low-carb meal or alongside steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
