Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped
- 2 crisp carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
Homemade Stir-Fry Sauce
- 1/4 cup Bragg’s liquid aminos, low sodium soy sauce, or coconut aminos (coconut aminos recommended)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, grated
- 1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce until well combined, setting it aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat the avocado or olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized pieces of flank steak or sirloin, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Add the Vegetables: Stir in the chopped broccoli and sliced carrots with the cooked beef. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes more, allowing the veggies to become tender-crisp.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the meat and vegetables. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the beef and veggies are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve: Serve the beef stir fry immediately over your choice of brown rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.
- Store: For meal prep, keep the stir fry refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
