Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak and sear, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil. Add 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 large sliced red bell pepper, 1 julienned carrot, and 1 small sliced yellow onion. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to the wok, pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, and season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce coats all ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry just before serving for a nutty finish.
