One Pan Ginger Beef Stir Fry
I love good stir fry! It’s fast, it can be made in one pan, and you can easily pack in lots of veggies and healthy protein, as well as a lot of flavor. Stir fry with chicken is a common go-to, but steak is an amazing protein for adding to stir fry, especially when paired with lots of green vegetables!
This ginger beef stir fry is made with steak, vegetables, and a simple sauce. It makes for the perfect weeknight meal that you can enjoy by itself or serve with a side like rice or cauliflower rice.
The Ingredients
- Sirloin steak. You could also use NY strip or flank steak.
- Sugar snap peas. Swap more broccoli or bok choy for AIP.
- Broccoli
- Bok choy
- Coconut aminos. This a soy-free soy sauce substitute.
- Arrowroot starch. To coat the beef and thicken the sauce.
- Ginger & garlic
How to Make This One-Pan Ginger Beef Stir Fry
Can you use something other than beef?
Stir-fries like this are super versatile! You can easily use chicken or shrimp and just adjust the cook times.
Can you make this recipe coconut free?
In order to make this recipe coconut free, you’d have to use a soy-based sauce, so there’s no soy-free and coconut free version.
What can you serve this with?
This stir fry is great on its own, or you can pair it with cauliflower rice, or white or brown rice if you tolerate it.

Delicious! I will definitely be making this again.
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely delicious! My picky kids loved it!
So happy it was a hit!
Wow this was by far the best Chinese type food I’ve ever made . I just started my AIP diet today and one of the things im not thrilled about giving up is rice , But the sauce of this dish is soooooo darn good that I pour a bit of it over my Cauliflower rice and I couldn’t even tell that I’m eating something other then rice . I feel so satisfied and full with this meal and I can’t wait to have it for my other meals this week. Thank you for sharing and making our lives easier. I’m just gonna end this comment with this , I love to cook Because I love food and also how good food heals our body , but for the last 5 years of cooking my husband has never heard me say “ wow” so many times while eating and even after lol . Thanks again
Yay! Thank you so much, Sara! So glad you liked it!!
