Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot starch
- 1 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Coconut sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 3 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef flank steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, toss the beef slices with the arrowroot starch to coat evenly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut aminos, coconut sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the coconut sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once all the beef is cooked, return it all to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the sliced green onions and red pepper flakes to the skillet, and toss everything together until the beef is well coated in the sauce.
Remove from heat and serve hot. This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables for a complete Paleo meal.
