Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 17.5 ounce flank steak
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Allow the steak to come to room temperature and pat dry.
  • Slice the mushrooms thin.
  • In a large skillet, add the avocado oil and put over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, coconut aminos, and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown. Set aside.
  • Salt and pepper each side of the steak. In a large skillet over high heat, add the steak and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, until internal temperature is 140°F (for medium rare, or to your liking).
  • Remove steak from the skillet and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare lettuce cups by adding bean sprouts and mushrooms. Chop green onions.
  • Slice the steak against the grain into ¼-inch strips. Add on top of the mushrooms and top with green onions.
  • Feel free to add a sweet chili sauce or sesame seeds on top too!

Notes

Tips
  • I'm using organic flank steak, but you can use another cut of beef if you prefer.
  • You can also use ground beef, pork, or turkey. Just sauté in a large skillet and you can add 1 teaspoon of Thai spice mix or even a little pinch ground ginger and coconut aminos. I like adding a little spice to ground meats as they are not as flavorful as steak.
  • I use organic coconut aminos but you can also use soy sauce if you prefer.
  • These are best eaten right away, so serve immediately!
  • If you have leftovers, store the steak, toppings, and lettuce separately. This way you can easily reheat them without having soggy lettuce.
