Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring to get a good sear, then stir and cook another 2 minutes until mostly cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 2 julienned carrots. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and glazes the beef and vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 3 sliced green onions on top before serving.
