Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 Lime (juiced)
- 1 Green chili (sliced, optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet in batches (to avoid overcrowding) and sear on each side for 1-2 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet.
Stir in the sliced red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and sea salt over the onion mixture. Stir well to combine and toast the spices for 30 seconds.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften, stirring occasionally.
Return the seared beef to the skillet and mix well with the spiced onion-tomato mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and coated in the spices.
Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the beef fry and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro. Stir to combine.
If desired, garnish with sliced green chili for an extra kick of heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
