Ingredients
Beef & Vegetables
- 1½ lbs lean sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp beef broth
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp sugar-free sweet chili sauce (or regular sweet chili sauce)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for a thicker sauce)
- Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Garnish
- Sliced green onions

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Season the sliced beef with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- If needed, add a small splash of oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Stir in the broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Stir well to coat.
