Instructions

1. Step 1: Whisk together 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to skillet, then add broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Return beef to skillet, pour in coconut aminos mixture, and add 1/4 cup water. If using cornstarch slurry, add it now. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats ingredients evenly.
