Thai Basil Beef Stir Fry

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Author: Amy Rains

Ingredients

  • 1 lb skirt steak
  • 2 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 2-3 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 cup Thai Basil chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the skirt steak by slicing against the grain into thin strips. Trim any large chunks of visible fat. Sprinkle arrowroot over the beef; place inside a large sealable baggie or container and shake to evenly distribute over the beef.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Once hot, add the oil and toss in the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until just browned. Remove to a plate, keep the skillet hot.
  • Add a bit more oil if needed, reduce the heat to medium. Now cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for a 5-7 minutes or until onions are softened and browned. 
  • Bring the beef back to the skillet, toss in the coconut aminos, fish sauce, coconut sugar, lime juice, and basil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the basil to wilt, and mixing the sauce evenly among the beef and veggies. 
  • Serve hot over cauliflower rice.
