Cumin beef stir-fry

A low-carb cumin beef stir-fry with garlic, chilli, and capsicum, properly flavoured, easy to prep, and ideal for a weekly meal-prep rotation.

Cumin beef stir-fry

Low-carb, high-flavour, and one of those dishes that’s faster than ordering takeaway. Stir-fries are some of my favourite weeknight meals, there’s no excuse not to whip up a healthy dish when it’s this quick.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 500g beef rib-eye steak, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped
  • Handful of sprouts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Sauce: 1 tablespoon balsamic
  • Sauce: 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Sauce: 2 tablespoons fish sauce

Method

  1. Mix the sauce ingredients (balsamic, sesame oil, fish sauce) together in a separate bowl.
  2. Combine beef, garlic, ground cumin, half of the sauce mixture, and chilli flakes in a bowl.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Stir-fry the sliced onion and bell pepper for 2 minutes until lightly charred. Transfer to a bowl.
  5. Stir-fry the beef in the same oil for 2 minutes until browned. Season to taste.
  6. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
  7. Heat the remaining oil. Return the onions, peppers, beef, and spring onions to the pan with the rest of the sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  8. Serve warm, sprinkled with coriander and sprouts.
