Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g beef sirloin
- 2 green bell peppers
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, Paleo compliant)
- 1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized strips and place in a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos with the arrowroot powder to form a slurry. Pour the mixture over the beef strips and toss to evenly coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Slice the green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Grate or finely mince the ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), sea salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Stir well to combine and heat everything through for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with cauliflower rice or enjoy as is for a delicious Paleo meal.
