Begin by peeling and cutting the sweet potato into thin fries. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the sweet potato fries with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the sweet potato fries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through.
While the fries are baking, slice the beef sirloin into thin strips. Place the strips in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
Slice the red onion into thick wedges, cut the tomatoes into wedges, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips, cooking them until brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red onions and sauté them for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and sliced jalapeño, cooking for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet, then add the sliced tomatoes, remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar. Stir everything to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Season the stir-fry with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Turn off the heat, then stir in the fresh cilantro.
Serve the stir-fry hot with the crispy sweet potato fries on the side.
