Directions
Cut the beef into strips, add them to a bowl and sprinkle on the arrowroot powder. Shake the
Add 30ml sesame oil to the pan. We cooked half of the beef at a time, so we started with 15ml oil.
Once the pan is hot, add the beef strips to sear for a few minutes.
Once the beef is brown on all sides, transfer it to a bowl whilst you prepare the sauce.
Add the remaining 15ml sesame oil to the pan and bring it back to a medium heat.
Add the garlic & ginger, cook for a couple of minutes, then add the shallot / spring onions. Allow these to sweat down for a few minutes.
Add the liquid aminos / coconut aminos, water and sweetener. Add the sweetener gradually and adjust it to your taste.
Bring the sauce to the boil to start reducing it down. Add the beef back to the pan and stir to coat in the sauce.
Mix the arrowroot with a dash of cold water in a small bowl. Once the arrowroot has fully dissolved, pour the mix into the pan and stir. This should thicken the sauce after a couple of minutes.
Optional: add a pinch of dried chilli flakes.
Now it’s time to serve! We paired this with swede rice, salad and Ketoroma Panda Roti.
