Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 0.5 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 0.25 cup water
• 4 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the arrowroot powder and black pepper. Add the sliced steak pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the coated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a brown crust. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5

Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced ginger and garlic. Stir frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut aminos and water, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once the sauce has thickened, return the cooked beef strips to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.

Step 9

Add the sliced green onions and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the onions are slightly wilted.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of vegetables or cauliflower rice, if desired.
