Beef Stir Fry (Keto Version)

Ingredients (4 servings)

Beef & Marinade

• 2 pounds flank steak
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use premium if available)
• 1 tablespoon cooking wine
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon xantham gum
• Ground black pepper

Aromatics

• Many garlic cloves, minced
• 2 scallions, minced
• A few tablespoons of ginger, minced

Sauce

• 3 tablespoons cooking wine
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon water

Vegetables

• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 not green bell pepper, sliced
• 8oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli, sliced
• 8oz green beans, sliced in half
• The remaining scallion bunch, sliced

Other Stuff

• 1 package of Shirataki noodles (Miracle Noodles Spaghetti style)
• 4 tablespoons peanut oil
• Sriracha
• Extra soy sauce
• A wok
• Stirring utensils, preferably wooden
• A plate or bowl for storing the cooked meat

Directions

1. Prepare the meat marinade: whisk all ingredients together in a container. Pepper and Sriracha don't need to be measured exactly, just eyeball it - probably less than a tablespoon of pepper.
2. Slice the flank steak diagonally into bite-size pieces and mix into the marinade.
3. Let the meat marinate at least 1-2 hours. Only refrigerate if you're not going to cook it in the next 1-2 hours.
4. Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. They will separate a bit over time, that's ok.
5. Slice all the veggies into separate bowls or plates.
6. Mince all the aromatics into a single bowl or plate.
7. Heat the wok on high, we want this shit 🔥 extremely hot 🔥. If using a cast iron wok this takes about 10 minutes.
8. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, swirl it around the wok, then stir fry the meat a few minutes until its browned. Work in batches unless you have a gigantic wok: we want as much wok surface area contact with the meat as possible. Typically this is 2 batches, use 1 tablespoon oil for each batch. As the meat is cooked, remove it to a plate.
9. Let the wok heat up again for a few minutes.
10. The sauce may need to be mixed back together at this point if the liquids have separated a bit.
11. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, then add the aromatics and stir fry. Work quickly! About 1 minute until the ginger & garlic are browned, but not burned.
12. Add the sauce to the aromatics and stir for 1-2 minutes until it cooks down a little.
13. Add the vegetables and stir fry for 10-12 minutes. The amount of time depends on the type of vegetables, how much you like them cooked, etc.
    • Broccoli and mushrooms are good to add immediately: broccoli takes about 10 minutes, mushrooms really absorb the stir fry liquid.
    • Scallions and bell peppers can be added a few minutes later.
14. Add more sriracha, soy sauce, and/or a little more peanut oil to make sure this is cooking up nicely.
15. When the vegetables are cooked to perfection, add the flank steak back, stir to combine & reheat the meat.
16. Add the Shirataki noodles, stir to combine and heat.
17. Serve & EAT.
