Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or another Whole30-compliant cooking oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips. Thinly slice the yellow onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create a simple stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and just cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if necessary. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the onions. Pour the coconut aminos sauce over the beef and onions, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with additional salt or coconut aminos if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions if desired. Pair with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete Whole30 meal.
