Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
- 3 medium Green bell peppers (sliced into strips)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 0.25 cup Beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan substitution)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (to enhance flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, beef broth, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until cornstarch dissolves completely, and set aside.
Season the sliced beef with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onion. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or your favorite grain, if desired.
