Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb grass-fed, grass-finished sirloin, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup organic garlic, minced
  • 10 whole Thai chilis
  • 1/2 cup organic coconut aminos
  • 3 tsp organic raw honey
  • 1 tbsp organic sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Pluck Zesty Garlic seasoning
  • 2 bunches organic scallions, chopped into thirds
  • 1/8 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • Cornstarch or arrowroot
  • Serve with organic basmati rice
  • Garnish with chopped nuts or peanuts
  • Sprinkle with organic sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dust the sirloin strips with the cornstarch, being sure to coat evenly.

Step 2

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add in the avocado oil. 

Step 3

Fry the sirloin pieces, (be sure to knock off any excess cornstarch) until slightly browned (roughly 5-10 minutes).

Step 4

Add in chilis and garlic. 

Step 5

Saute for 2-3 minutes or until garlic is fragrant. 

Step 6

Add in coconut aminos, honey, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, Pluck seasoning and scallions. 

Step 7

Simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened and reduced by one third.

Step 8

Serve with basmati rice. Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds.

NOTE:

  • This recipe is best served with organic basmati rice. This can also be substituted out for cauliflower rice, making it a healthier alternative for those on low-carb diets.

  • The heat level in this dish can be changed very easily by adding or subtracting the amount of Thai Chilis used.

  • This dish contains an array of antioxidants from both the garlic and peppers. The sprinkle of Pluck on the top adds nutrition and umami flavor that can’t be beat.
