It’s an ideal way to indulge in classic comfort food without compromising your diet.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (feel free to use a variety of colors)
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free alternative)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
• Salt, to taste
• 1/4 cup beef broth

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Add the sliced beef, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they’re tender but still slightly crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Cook the Beef:
   In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
   Add the marinated beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine and Thicken:
   Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
   If you prefer a thicker sauce, sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture and stir well. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking.
5. Serve:
   Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs for an extra touch. Enjoy!
