Ingredients

• 8 oz Rice noodles
• 12 oz Beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned or cut into thin strips
• 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 Green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tbsp Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 tsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan sweetener option)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the lime juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), honey, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the cooked rice noodles. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.

Step 8

Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
