Calories 300kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb thin sliced beef (like a tri-tip roast or skirt steak)
- 0-3 fresh Thai chilis, optional
- 1/3 cup shallot, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups green beans, cut into 1/4in lengths
- 1 cup shishito peppers, cut into 1/2in lengths
- 1 handful mung bean sprouts
- 1 medium tomato, cut into 6-8 large pieces
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
For the Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated on a microplane
- 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce (I use gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1-2 limes, juiced
- 2 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp white pepper, ground
Instructions
- Prep all of the ingredients and place in individual bowls, then make the sauce by whisking together all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
- Put a wok on your stove over maximum heat. Allow it to heat for a few minutes until very hot.
- Add 1 tbsp avocado oil and then the beef and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until some of the pieces have developed color and the meat has browned. Remove back into a bowl and set aside.
- Add another tbsp avocado oil, followed by the shallots and chilis (if using). Stir fry for one minute, then add the green beans. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes, then add the peppers. Another 1-2 minutes then add the sprouts and tomato. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes then add the beef in again. Toss together then add the sauce and cook on high for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and toss in all of the fresh basil. Serve immediately alongside white steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
