Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 150 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or any stir-fry oil)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well, then set it aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it’s just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Sprinkle with black pepper and salt if desired.
Stir everything together for another 1-2 minutes until heated through and the flavors are combined.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if using. Serve immediately.
