Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cup black olives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin against the grain into thin strips.
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and arrowroot powder. Mix well.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the water, finely chopped black olives, honey, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a Paleo-style black bean sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Once hot, add the marinated beef strips and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour the black olive mixture over the beef and vegetables.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Beef in Black Bean Sauce!
