Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams sirloin steak (or chicken breast, if preferred)
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the sirloin steak (or chicken breast) into thin strips against the grain. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, thinly slice the carrot, julienne the red bell pepper, and slice the zucchini into half-moons.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced meat to the pan and season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked through. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked meat to the pan, and pour in the coconut aminos. Stir well to combine the meat and vegetables, letting the flavors meld for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately on its own for a Paleo-friendly meal, or pair with cauliflower rice for a more filling option.
