Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 0.5 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons erythritol
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 4 green onions
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut aminos, erythritol, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Stir well until erythritol is dissolved.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.

Step 4

Add the sliced flank steak into the soy sauce mixture, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

While the beef is marinating, chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each batch for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove cooked beef and set aside.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sesame oil and green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onions are tender.

Step 9

Reintroduce the beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions.

Step 10

Add the arrowroot slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
