Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes without stirring to develop a good crust.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp turmeric powder to the pan. Stir-fry everything together for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 2 cups snap peas and pour 3 tbsp coconut aminos over the mixture. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until snap peas are tender-crisp and beef is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
