Ingredients

  • 1 lb grass-fed beef steak
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 large, minced garlic cloves
  • 1 inch, minced fresh ginger
  • 1 medium, sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 large, julienned carrot
  • 1 medium, julienned zucchini
  • 1 small, sliced onion
  • 4 stalks, chopped green onions
  • 2 cups, shredded cabbage
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef steak against the grain into strips.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the beef strips with coconut aminos, half the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the beef is well coated and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef, cooking it in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Sear the beef until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining avocado oil. Add the onion, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the zucchini, shredded cabbage, and the remaining sesame oil to the vegetables. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing everything together thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the beef through.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Beef Chow Mein!
