Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef from wok and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 large sliced red bell pepper, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to the wok along with 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Stir-fry everything together for another 2 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce coats the ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately for a nutrient-rich Whole30 dinner bursting with flavor.
