Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb beef (flank steak, top sirloin) thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Beef Marinade

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Aromatics

  • Fresh Ginger – approximately size of index and middle finger – thinly sliced into matchstick size
  • 2 hot finger peppers – deseeded and finely sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic – finely minced
  • 4 scallions – finely sliced, length of 2 matchsticks

METHOD

Step 1: Place sliced beef into a medium size mixing bowl. Combine all ingredients in steak marinade and toss until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate while prepping the rest of the dish

Step 2: Prepare aromatics – slice peppers, ginger, scallions and mince the garlic

Step 3: Heat a large skillet and add 2 tbsp avocado oil. Once fully heated, spread the marinated beef evenly on the skillet and allow to sear until crispy for about 2 minutes. Flip beef so other side is seared as well then place cooked beef and leftover marinade aside

Step 4: In the same skillet turn down heat to medium-low and add 1 tbsp avocado oil. Add in aromatics and allow to cook until fragrant – about 1 minute

Step 5: Add beef broth and scrape off all pan drippings and allow all flavours to come together! Simmer for another 60s

Step 6: Throw beef back in the skillet and toss with aromatics until fully combined. Option to add in extra veggies if you so wish!

Step 7: Serve on top of rice, sweet potatoes, cauliflower rice – whatever you choose! Serve and enjoy immediately!
