Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef, chicken, or pork (thinly sliced)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots (thinly sliced into matchsticks)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil or other high-heat oil
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients first: slice the meat thinly, chop the vegetables, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil (if using), cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Season the sliced meat with salt and pepper, then add it to the hot skillet. Sear the meat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir, then pour it over the meat and vegetables.

Step 8

Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or green onions for extra flavor. Enjoy!
