# Étapes de réalisation:

01 - Combine the sliced beef, coconut aminos, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, black pepper, baking soda, and tapioca starch in a bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coating and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
02 - Thinly slice the onion and both bell peppers. Place the sliced onion and bell peppers in one bowl, and finely chop the cilantro, keeping it in a separate bowl.
03 - In a small bowl, combine olive oil, coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, tapioca starch, black pepper, and a pinch of coarse sea salt. Stir well and set aside.
04 - Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 15 ml of avocado oil. Arrange the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for approximately 2 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Remove beef and pan juices to a bowl.
05 - If necessary, add 7 ml more avocado oil to the skillet and reheat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions with a pinch of salt, stir-fry over medium-high heat until peppers are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
06 - Return the seared beef and juices to the skillet. Stir the prepared sauce, then pour it over the mixture. Toss everything together and cook for 1 minute until evenly coated and heated through.
07 - Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot or at room temperature, ideally with steamed rice.

# Détails supplémentaires:

01 - For added flavor and spice, substitute longhorn Chinese green pepper for bell peppers, or combine both. A touch of brown sugar or honey can be added for a sweeter sauce profile.
02 - Adding a dash of vegan oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Shaoxing wine, or mirin to the sauce or marinade increases depth of flavor.
03 - Potato starch or cornstarch can replace tapioca or arrowroot starch as needed.
04 - Prepare components up to 2–3 days in advance and store separately in the refrigerator for quicker assembly.
05 - Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4–5 days. Gently reheat by stir frying or microwaving for best results.
06 - Enhance the sauce volume by adding chicken or beef stock, creating a rich gravy for serving over rice or vegetables.
07 - For a low-carbohydrate variation, substitute cooked shirataki noodles or omit rice.
