Instructions

  • Place the steak strips into a large mixing bowl and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, and toss with cornstarch until well coated, and set aside.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a large skillet over a medium-high heat, add the green beans and sauté for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover with a lid to steam for a further minute. Transfer the green beans to a plate and discard any excess water.
  • Return the skillet to a high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the steak strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is almost cooked through. Reduce to a medium heat and add the garlic, ginger, tamari, rice wine vinegar, and coconut sugar; then, stir quickly to coat the beef. Add the green beans back into the pan and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
