Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 0.5 cup beef stock (check for Paleo-compliant ingredients)
• 1 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
• 2 tbsp water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is softened.

Step 5

Pour in the beef stock and coconut milk. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

Step 6

Add the coconut aminos and fresh thyme leaves. Return the beef to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with the water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet while stirring continuously, allowing the sauce to thicken. This should take 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and allow the beef to rest for 5 minutes. Serve the beef topped with the rich mushroom sauce, and garnish with additional thyme if desired.
