Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red chili flakes to create the sauce. Set it aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced beef. Stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the broccoli florets, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the ingredients to absorb the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
