Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Chili garlic paste
• 1.5 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (for cooking)
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 Carrot, thinly sliced
• 2 Green onion, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the flank steak by slicing it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a small bowl, toss the sliced beef with the arrowroot powder to coat evenly. Set aside.

Step 3

In another small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, chili garlic paste, maple syrup, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.

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 sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
