Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 3 stalks green onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water chestnuts
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized strips and season with salt and black pepper.
Using a spiralizer, spiralize the zucchinis into noodle-like shapes and set aside.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and julienne the carrots.
Chop the green onions, separating the greens from the whites. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the beef strips in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking until they are browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then add the garlic, ginger, and the whites of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, carrots, and water chestnuts to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and gently toss to combine.
Pour the coconut aminos and sesame oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with red chili flakes. Continue to cook and toss for an additional 3-4 minutes until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing everything together until heated through.
Garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Beef Chow Mein!
