Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or beef strips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free options)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and chop all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut the chicken or beef into thin strips.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut or olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Protein: Add the chicken or beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the protein from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Veggies: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return Protein to Pan: Add the cooked chicken or beef back into the pan with the veggies.
- Sauce It Up: Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, stirring everything to coat well. Allow it all to cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Finish and Garnish: Once everything is heated through, taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
