Ingredients
Meat
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
Vegetables
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Oils and Sauces
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
Seasonings and Garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook the beef: Add the sliced flank steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Stir-fry vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Finish cooking: Cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and flavors meld.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, then serve hot.
Notes
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make the dish gluten-free.
- Oyster sauce is optional but adds umami flavor; substitute with a gluten-free alternative if needed.
- Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- If you prefer, substitute coconut oil with a neutral oil like avocado or olive oil.
- Adjust the level of garlic according to your taste preference.
