Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red onion, sliced
• 2 bell peppers, mixed colors, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, for garnish
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the beef sirloin thinly and evenly to ensure each piece cooks consistently.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine sliced beef with freshly ground black pepper, coconut aminos, and a small pinch of sea salt. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the red onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.

Step 4

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned but not cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions begin to soften.

Step 7

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet, stirring frequently for another 3-4 minutes, or until they start to tenderize but still have some crunch.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and flavors meld together. Adjust seasoning with additional black pepper or salt if needed.

Step 9

Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish just before serving.
