Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and 1/2 tsp sea salt; stir fry for 3-4 minutes until beef is browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 large sliced red bell pepper to the pan. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are bright and just tender.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to the pan. Sprinkle 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce is absorbed and coats all ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
