Ginger Pepper Steak

Servings servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil divided
8 ounces white button mushrooms thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 piece ginger peeled and grated, 1/2-inch
2 pounds flank steak OR sirloin steak cut diagonally into strips
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1 teaspoon sugar
2 large green bell peppers de-seeded, de-ribbed and thickly sliced
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
Add mushrooms; cook until they just begin to brown then remove from pan and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil; add garlic and gingerroot and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add beef strips, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned. Add coco-aminos and sugar; stir well then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Raise heat to medium and return mushrooms to the pan along with the bell peppers; cook until bell peppers are tender-crisp. In a small bowl or cup, combine water and cornstarch and stir into the skillet, scraping up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low; cook and stir until sauce has thickened.
