Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 10 leaves curry leaves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 medium green chilies (thinly sliced, optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin into strips, making sure any excess fat is trimmed. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil is hot, add the thinly sliced onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and the onions start to turn translucent.
If using curry leaves, add them to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1 minute to release their aroma.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef slices to the skillet. Stir-fry the beef for 5-6 minutes until it is browned and cooked through.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt to the beef. Stir well to coat all the beef strips evenly in the spices.
Add the green chilies, if using, and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Squeeze in the lime juice, mix thoroughly, and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the Paleo Spiced Beef Fry on its own or alongside a bed of cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad.
