Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 60 ml coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 large zucchini, julienned or thinly sliced
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 60 ml water
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil or neutral cooking oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the coconut aminos, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil or neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 7

Give the coconut aminos sauce mixture a quick stir (to ensure the cornstarch is evenly distributed) and pour it over the beef and vegetables in the skillet.

Step 8

Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
