Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef, chicken, or pork (thinly sliced)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots (thinly sliced into matchsticks)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil or other high-heat oil
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients first: slice the meat thinly, chop the vegetables, and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil (if using), cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Season the sliced meat with salt and pepper, then add it to the hot skillet. Sear the meat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the same skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir, then pour it over the meat and vegetables.
Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or green onions for extra flavor. Enjoy!
