Gluten Free Pepper Steak Stir-Fry

Prep time20 min

Cook time20 min

Thin strips of flank steak sear fast and hot until deeply browned, then get tossed back into a skillet full of vibrant red, green, and yellow bell peppers for that classic tender-crisp bite with lightly charred edges. Garlic and fresh ginger bloom right in the pan, and a glossy sauce built on coconut aminos and arrowroot starch clings to every piece, thickening up to a rich, savory finish without a drop of soy sauce anywhere in sight. It all comes together fast, wok-style, and spoons over brown rice for a satisfying weeknight dinner that eats like your favorite takeout order. A scatter of green onion and sesame seeds on top adds the finishing touch. This one's a genuinely solid pick for a gluten free kitchen, no asterisks needed.
