Ingredients

• 1 pound sirloin steak or flank steak
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons red chili paste (Whole30-compliant)
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the sirloin steak into strips, cutting against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, red chili paste, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the stir-fry sauce.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the steak slices to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining avocado oil. Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4–5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked steak to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Add in the sliced green onions and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes for extra heat. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for added flavor, then remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 9

Serve the spicy beef stir-fry warm, either on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30-compliant.
