This steak and zucchini stir-fry combines thinly sliced sirloin with zucchini, green onion and coconut aminos. One estimated serving contains approximately 27 grams of protein and can be prepared in about 25 minutes.
Slicing the steak thinly across the grain helps it cook quickly and remain tender. Avoid overcrowding the skillet so the meat browns rather than steams.
