Healthy Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry
This version of stir fry is made without soy sauce and refined seed oils to make a healthy, nutritious, and delicious meal that you can easily pull together on a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
2 tbsp avocado oil (1 tbsp for cooking the steak and 1 tbsp for the sauce)
1.5 lbs. grass-fed flank steak, sliced
·4 cloves of organic garlic, minced
1 tsp freshly grated organic ginger
1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp organic black pepper
10 oz organic broccoli florets
4 oz organic snow peas
3 medium organic bell peppers (I used red, yellow, and orange), sliced
3 medium organic carrots, sliced
1 can organic sliced water chestnuts
½ cup filtered water
1/3 cup organic coconut aminos
2 tsp organic arrowroot powder
Organic green onion, optional for garnish
Organic sesame seeds, optional for garnish
Add the sliced steak, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add in the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes flipping halfway through. Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
While the steak is cooking, make the stir fry sauce by adding coconut aminos, avocado oil, and arrowroot powder to a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
After removing the steak from the pan, add the broccoli, snow peas, peppers, carrots, water chestnuts and ½ cup water to the pan. Cook the vegetables until they are slightly tender but still have a crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the steak and any juices back to the skillet with the vegetables and then add the stir fry sauce. Stir everything to combine and sauté for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
Remove the skillet from the heat and top with green onions and sesame seeds, if you are using.
Notes:
You can serve this stir fry alone or pair it with rice or cauliflower rice.
If flank steak is not available, you can use skirt steak instead.
Instead of soy sauce, I used coconut aminos, which have a slightly sweet flavor and are a common replacement for soy sauce.
