Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour *
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp avocado oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 3 scallions (green onions) sliced into 2-inch pieces

Instructions

  • Cut the flank steak into 2-inch pieces (thin strips turn out more tender!) and place in a mixing bowl. Add the tapioca flour along with a sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the beef is well-coated.
  • In a measuring cup or mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, the minced garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, water, and cider vinegar and set aside until ready to use.
  • Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add the floured beef and brown for 3 to 5 minutes, until one or two sides of the beef have a nice sear.
  • Pour in the sauce and bring to a full boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very thick and the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season the beef with sea salt to taste.
  • Stir in the chopped green onion and serve with choice of sides!

Notes

*Replace the tapioca flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour if you'd like.
