Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Lime

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and cut into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine beef strips with coconut aminos, red wine vinegar, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, slice the red onion into thin wedges, core and slice the tomatoes into wedges, and slice the yellow bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated beef strips to the hot skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove beef and set aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add sliced onions, minced garlic, and bell pepper strips, sautéing for about 5 minutes or until onions become translucent and peppers are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet, adding the sliced tomatoes. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tomatoes soften slightly.

Step 9

Taste the stir-fry and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra flavor.
