Instructions

1. Step 1: Pat the 8 oz beef strips dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside, then remove and set aside.
2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp butter to the same skillet, then add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are golden and release their liquid, stirring occasionally.
3. Step 3: Return the beef to the skillet, add 1 tsp coconut aminos, and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute until heated through. Add 2 cups fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted and vibrant green.
