Ingredients

6 ounce beef sirloin (thinly sliced against the grain)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
0.5 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
0.5 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
0.25 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
2 tablespoon tamari
1 teaspoon sriracha
0.5 teaspoon erythritol
0.25 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon butter

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together tamari (or coconut aminos), sriracha (if using), erythritol (if using), and beef broth. If you want a thicker sauce, whisk in xanthan gum until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still slightly pink in the center. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil to the skillet. Add red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and flavors to meld.
While the stir-fry cooks, prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat butter or ghee in a small pan over medium heat. Add riced cauliflower and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the spicy beef and bell pepper stir-fry immediately over the cauliflower rice.

Notes

Thinly slicing the beef against the grain ensures maximum tenderness. Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
