One-Pan Beef & Pepper Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp tamari (for velveting)
• 3 bell peppers, sliced
• 3 tbsp avocado oil
• 1/4 cup tamari
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp allulose
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Method

1. 1

   Toss the sliced beef with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon tamari, letting it sit for 10 minutes — this 'velveting' technique coats the meat in a protective starch layer that keeps it tender when it hits high heat.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the beef in batches 2 minutes per side, then remove.

3. 3

   Add remaining oil and peppers, cooking 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. 4

   Add garlic, cooking 30 seconds, then whisk in the remaining tamari, rice vinegar, and allulose, simmering 1 minute.

5. 5

   Return the beef to the pan, toss to coat, and serve hot.
