Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

This quick and easy stir-fry might come together fast, but it isn't short on flavor.
Smarts: A two-ingredient marinade adds flavor and tenderizes the beef. Even 20 minutes of marinating time will pay off, but overnight is best.

Make

Whisk together water (portion for stir-fry) and arrowroot powder to make a slurry.
Heat a wok over high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then carrots, bell peppers, and green beans with a pinch of salt. Saute until vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. (Add a splash of water if the pan starts to look dry during cooking.) Add white parts of green onions and saute for 1 minute more.
Transfer vegetables to a serving plate and return wok to heat.
Add second part of cooking oil. Drain marinade off steak and add steak to heated wok. Saute until steak is nearly cooked through, ~3 minutes.
Pour sauce over steak and bring to a simmer. Add arrowroot powder slurry to simmering liquid. Continue cooking until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Serve steak and sauce over vegetables with green parts of green onions on top and lime wedges on the side. Add some more hot sauce, if you’d like. Enjoy!
