Ingredients

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 season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sear beef for 2 minutes without stirring to develop crust, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until mostly cooked. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 large thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 1 large julienned carrot. Stir-fry vegetables for 4-5 minutes until just tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to wok and pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos along with remaining 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce lightly coats beef and veggies.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
