Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 4 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 medium sliced zucchini half-moons and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and slightly golden.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to skillet, pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce coats the beef and vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving warm.
