Equipment

Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

  • ½ cup coconut aminos*
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar or fresh lime juice to taste
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp sriracha optional
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 Tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch**
  • 1 tsp fish sauce optional
  • ½ tsp sea salt to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper to taste

Beef and Noodles

  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 8 ounces NY Strip Steak cut into slices***
  • ½ small yellow onion sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 small crown broccoli chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients for the sauce to a small blender and blend to combine. As an alternative, you can whisk all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. If you do so, peel and mince the garlic and fresh ginger. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to heat up for a few minutes before adding the sliced steak and onions. Use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to spread the beef and onions into a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped broccoli and bell peppers and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until softened but still al dente. If at any point the vegetables are cooking too quickly, reduce to medium heat.
  • While stir frying the beef and vegetables, heat a large pot of water to boiling on the stove top to cook the rice noodles. Cook rice noodles for 6-8 minutes, or follow the time indication on the package instructions. When the noodles have finished cooking drain them into a colander.
  • Add the cooked noodles, green onions, and sauce to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until much of the sauce has been absorbed. This goes quickly!
  • Taste the noodles for flavor and add sea salt and black pepper to your personal taste. Serve beef and noodles immediately, and enjoy!

Notes

*Replace the coconut aminos with ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos + 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup or brown sugar if you’d prefer. Because coconut aminos are naturally sweet, we need to add a sweetener when replacing it with a soy based sauce.
** Use corn starch, arrowroot starch, all-purpose flour, or gluten-free all-purpose flour instead of tapioca flour if you’d prefer.
*** The kind of steak doesn’t matter as long as you like it! Use boneless ribeye, top sirloin steak, or filet mignon. I recommend avoiding tougher cuts of beef like flank steak for the best results.
