Ingredients
1.5 lbs Grass-fed Flank Steak
3 large Bell Peppers
1 medium Yellow Onio
3 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger
1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
1 tablespoon Raw Honey
1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Arrowroot Starch
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Place your flank steak in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm it up. Slice the meat against the grain into 2-inch strips
- Whisk the Sauce: In a small glass bowl, combine the coconut aminos, raw honey, toasted sesame oil, and arrowroot starch. Whisk until the starch dissolves
- Sear the Meat: Heat one tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan, then add the sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions softe
- Cook the Peppers: Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they are bright and tender-crisp
- Combine and Thicken: Return the seared beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over everything and stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens
Notes
Use high-heat cooking oils like avocado oil for searing to prevent smoking.
Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the meat to ensure proper browning.
Slice vegetables to uniform sizes for even cooking.
