Ingredients

• 1 pound top sirloin steak
• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 for serving lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the top sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the beef strips to the bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once hot, add the marinated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 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 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Step 6

Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder over the top, stirring to thicken the sauce slightly.

Step 9

Garnish the black pepper beef with sliced scallions and fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
