Ingredients

• 450 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative, sugar-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or any neutral oil for stir-frying)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional for heat)
• 3 stalks Scallions (green onions)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin or flank steak across the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Core and slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside the sauce mixture.

Step 4

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

Step 5

When the oil is hot, add the beef strips in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

Step 9

Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently, to combine flavors and heat through.

Step 10

Garnish with the green parts of the scallions before serving. Serve hot, either on its own or with a side of cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb option.
