1poundflank steak
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4cupsake or dry white wine(optional)
1/4cupgluten-free tamari or coconut aminos
2tablespoonsrice vinegar or white wine vinegar
1tablespoonclover honey or pure maple syrup
Coconut or avocado oil
8ouncesFrench green beans(cut in half)
1bunch scallions(green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces)
5ounceswatercress(about 4 cups packed)
Instructions
Slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the sake (if using), tamari, vinegar, and honey until dissolved.
Set a large wok or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add a thin layer of oil and arrange the steak in an even layer.
Brown the meat, flipping once, until there’s a dark sear on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the green beans and sauce to the pan. Simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and the beans are al dente, about 3 minutes.
Return the beef to the pan along with the scallions and toss to coat in the sauce.
To serve, arrange the watercress on a platter and top with the beef stir-fry and sauce. Serve immediately alongside white rice, if you like.
