Spicy Keto Black Pepper Beef Stir-Fry

Black Pepper Beef #KetoFriendly

Ingredients:

• 1/4 kg (250 g) beef brisket, sliced thinly
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1/2 green bell pepper (or any color of your choice), sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper (or to taste), coarsely ground
• 5 small Thai chili peppers (adjust to taste), sliced
• 4 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (e.g., Tropicana Slim for a lower sugar option)
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (optional; you can skip this if preferred)
• Coconut oil for frying (e.g., Barco brand)
• Water as needed

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • Cut the beef brisket into thin, wide strips. Place the slices in a bowl and season with the sweet soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.

2. Sear the Beef:

   • Heat a small amount of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until it is browned and cooked through. Once done, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Sauté the sliced bell peppers, onion, garlic, and Thai chili peppers until they become tender and aromatic.

4. Combine and Simmer:

   • Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the sweet soy sauce, optional oyster sauce, and coarsely ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Add a splash of water if needed to create a slightly saucy consistency. Let the mixture simmer for about 8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Serve:

   • Adjust the seasoning to taste, if necessary. Serve the Black Pepper Beef warm, straight from the skillet.

Enjoy this flavorful and keto-friendly dish, perfect for a satisfying meal with a touch of spice!
