In a small bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon of arrowroot powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare all the vegetables by washing, peeling, and slicing them as described in the ingredient list to ensure everything is ready to cook.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon (15ml) of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) of coconut oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, julienned carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini slices, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the partially cooked beef to the skillet. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons (30ml) of coconut aminos over the mixture and stir everything together.
Let the beef and vegetables cook together for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.
Taste the stir-fry and season with salt and additional black pepper if needed. Remove the skillet from heat.
Garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately while hot.
