Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin
- 2 cups broccoli
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut beef into 1/4-inch strips against the grain. Cut broccoli into small florets. Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until rice-like (about 2 cups).
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a wok over high heat. Sear beef for 2-3 minutes until browned but not cooked through. Remove and set aside. Add remaining oil, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
