Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak strips and sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger root. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 2 julienned medium carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef strips to the skillet and pour in 1/4 cup coconut aminos. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced green onions and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (if using) over the top, and serve hot for a vibrant Whole30-approved stir fry.
