Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 0.5 cup beef stock (check for Paleo-compliant ingredients)
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is softened.
Pour in the beef stock and coconut milk. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
Add the coconut aminos and fresh thyme leaves. Return the beef to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with the water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet while stirring continuously, allowing the sauce to thicken. This should take 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow the beef to rest for 5 minutes. Serve the beef topped with the rich mushroom sauce, and garnish with additional thyme if desired.
