Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak or flank steak
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons red chili paste (Whole30-compliant)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the sirloin steak into strips, cutting against the grain to ensure tenderness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, red chili paste, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the stir-fry sauce.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Add the steak slices to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining avocado oil. Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4–5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked steak to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add in the sliced green onions and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes for extra heat. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for added flavor, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Serve the spicy beef stir-fry warm, either on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30-compliant.
