Ingredients

• 450 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 6 stalks Green onions (scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or another neutral oil, for cooking)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel for better browning.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef slices, mix well, and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 4

Trim the green onions and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add half the marinated beef slices in a single layer to the skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and repeat with the remaining beef, adding an additional tablespoon of oil if needed.

Step 7

Return all the beef to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the green onions, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green onions are tender and the beef is fully cooked.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried beef and green onions immediately, either on its own or alongside a bed of cauliflower rice for a full low-carb meal.
