Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, mixed colors, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Begin by slicing the beef sirloin thinly and evenly to ensure each piece cooks consistently.
In a medium bowl, combine sliced beef with freshly ground black pepper, coconut aminos, and a small pinch of sea salt. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the red onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned but not cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet, stirring frequently for another 3-4 minutes, or until they start to tenderize but still have some crunch.
Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and flavors meld together. Adjust seasoning with additional black pepper or salt if needed.
Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish just before serving.
