Thai Basil Beef

Makes: 4 Prep: 40 mins Cook: 10 mins

WHAT YOU NEED:

For the beef:
• 1 lb. (450g) flank steak, sliced in thin strips
• 1 tsp. water
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. coconut oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup (24g) Thai basil leaves (or regular Basil)
For the sauce:
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. fish sauce
• 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
• 4 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

In a medium bowl, place the beef, water, corn-starch, and soy sauce. Toss everything to coat and marinate for 10-30 minutes.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and sear the beef until browned, (2-3 minutes), then set it aside.
Add the bell pepper and green onion to the same pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Next, add in the garlic, and cook for another 1 more minute.
Return the beef back to the pan along with the sauce. Cook until thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Lastly, add in the Thai (or regular) basil and cook until it is just wilted. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds alongside rice.
