Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Reserve half of the marinade for the vegetables.
Marinate the Beef: Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and marinate it in half of the prepared marinade for at least 15 minutes, or longer if time allows.
Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef is marinating, chop the broccoli into florets and slices, and clean and slice the mushrooms.
Cook the Vegetables (Stir-Fry Method): Heat a tablespoon of avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add a splash of water, cover to steam for an additional minute, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed, and stir-fry the mushrooms for 2-4 minutes until tender. Set them aside with the broccoli.
Cook the Beef: In the same skillet, add the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, then return the vegetables to the pan.
Combine and Serve: Add the reserved marinade to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat well. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Garnish with chopped chives and cilantro before serving.
Extra Tips
When cooking this dish, make sure you keep your cooking surfaces and ingredients organized for efficiency.
Using a high heat is essential for a good stir-fry, as it helps achieve that beautiful sear on the beef and retains the crispness of the vegetables.
If opting for the sheet pan method, spread the ingredients evenly to promote browning, and consider broiling for the last couple of minutes for added texture.
Adjust ingredient quantities based on your preferences, and don't hesitate to experiment with different vegetables or sauces to make this dish your own!
