Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 cup filtered water
- 2 green onions
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain into strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot powder and 1/4 cup water to form a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Slice the green and red bell peppers into strips, and chop the onion into chunks. Chop the green onions for garnish.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef strips and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add more olive oil if necessary, then sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the bell peppers and onion to the pan. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the coconut aminos and 1/2 cup filtered water, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Add the arrowroot slurry to the pan, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the beef to the pan and cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is well-coated in the sauce.
Season with crushed black pepper and remove from heat.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
