Prep Time: 15 minutes

Marinate: 1-2 Hours

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2


Tips from Kelly’s Kitchen:

Flat Iron Steak is not always the easiest to find at the grocery store, so here are some other great alternatives that work well with this recipe:

  • Flank steak, which is a lean and flavorful cut of beef that is similar in texture to flat iron steak. 
  • Hanger steak, Skirt steak or Round Top Steak are also great alternatives

Make sure you leave enough time to marinate your steak for atleast 1-2 hours before cooking to get the most flavorful dish!


What you Need:

  • Large Cast Iron Skillet or Wok
  • Medium sized Pot

Ingredients:

Reminder to measure with your heart when it comes to spices. Use what you prefer, these are base guidelines

  • 1 lb. flat iron steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • green onions (cut into 1-inch long diagonal slices)
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp. ginger (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (chopped)

Make sure you have…

  • Non-stick Cooking Spray

Instructions:

Step 1:

Cut the Flat Iron Steak into very thin slices against the grain.

Step 2:

Add the sliced beef to a small container or ziplock bag and add the coconut aminos, peeled + grated root ginger, and garlic. Let marinate for 1-2 hours in the fridge.

Step 3:

When you are ready to cook, drain the meat from the marinade but reserve the liquid for later.

Step 4:

Add the coconut oil to a large wok or cast iron skillet and heat it until it’s almost smoking, the oil must be hot so you can get the nice crispy edges on the beef.

Step 5:

Add the beef to the very hot oil (you may need to do it in a couple batches, don’t crowd the pan) and keep stir frying over a high heat, being careful not to burn it, for just 1-3 minutes. 

Step 6:

When the last batch of meat is in, add the green onions and cook for the last 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 7:

If you want more ‘sauce’ to serve with the meat, quickly cook the remaining marinade for just a minute or two in your wok after the last batch of beef has been cooked, and drizzle over the beef or serve in a separate small dish.

Step 8:

Place the beef on a bed of rice or pile on the side of your plate, serve and enjoy!
