Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 2 medium Yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or another Whole30-compliant cooking oil)
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips. Thinly slice the yellow onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create a simple stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and just cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if necessary. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the onions. Pour the coconut aminos sauce over the beef and onions, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with additional salt or coconut aminos if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions if desired. Pair with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete Whole30 meal.
