Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak
- 1 pound asparagus
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the beef by slicing it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.
Step 2
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, half the sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil to the same skillet. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the asparagus. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return the beef to the skillet, along with any juices it released. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and stir everything together. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the beef is fully cooked.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional sea salt or coconut aminos if needed.
Step 9
Drizzle with optional sesame oil if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy as-is, or pair with cauliflower rice for a hearty Paleo meal.
