Ingredients
  • 1 lb Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups Broccoli florets
  • 1 medium Bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1 cup Carrots, sliced
  • 1/2 medium Onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup Coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Arrowroot starch (or tapioca starch)
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

Prepare the Beef

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, arrowroot starch, and water. Set aside. This will be your stir-fry sauce. Pat the beef sirloin dry with paper towels. This helps it to brown properly in the pan. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and sliced carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Cook the Beef

Move the vegetables to one side of the wok or remove them from the wok and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the wok. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Combine and Serve

Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir-fry until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice or gluten-free noodles.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of beef?

    Yes, you can substitute beef sirloin with other cuts like flank steak or skirt steak. Just be sure to slice it thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • What if I don't have coconut aminos?

    If you don't have coconut aminos, you can use tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) as a substitute. If you are not soy-free, regular soy sauce can also be used, but it will no longer be soy free.
  • Can I add other vegetables?

    Absolutely! Feel free to add other vegetables like snow peas, mushrooms, or water chestnuts to customize the stir-fry to your liking.
