Saturday or “Caturday” as we call it in our house is a good chance to decompress, spend some time with the kitties, do a little prep and get ready for the week ahead with a new keto recipe. We tend to do a meal we are familiar with that is quick and easy so we have more time to do the fun stuff. If you do the same the “Caturday Recipe” series is for you. No videos, no pop ups, no explanation of the mountain we hiked to pick the lettuce… just a plain ole’ fashioned Ginger Pepper Steak recipe.
Keto Ginger Pepper Steak
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1.5 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- .5 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
Directions
- Prepare the Steak: Season the steak slices with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Steak: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Veggies: Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine and Flavor: Return the cooked steak to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
