Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into half moons)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 medium Carrots (julienned)
- 2 stalks Green onion (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Avocado oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
- 1 quarter cup Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons Beef broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan substitution)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, beef broth, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch. Set aside as the stir-fry sauce.
Season the sliced beef with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Add the seasoned beef to the skillet in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the skillet and let it heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.
Add the zucchini and green onion, stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and vegetables.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the stir-fry immediately over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
