Ingredients

• Beef & Marinade:

  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari for a gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, check for a soy-free variety)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for marinating)

• Vegetables:

  • 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separate)

• Spicy Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Grains:

  • Cooked rice (jasmine or brown) or quinoa, for serving

Cooking Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with coconut aminos, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Mix well to coat the beef. Set aside for about 15-20 minutes to marinate.

2. Prepare the Spicy Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.

3. Stir-Fry:

   • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
   • In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
   • Return the beef to the pan and pour the spicy sauce over everything. Toss well to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
