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
- 3 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!
