Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 1.25-1.5 pounds ribeye or sirloin steak, sliced against the grain into 1/8-inch-thick strips (see note)
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, low sodium tamari or soy sauce (if not needing gluten-free)*
- 2 teaspoons dried chives
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 1/2 cups green bell pepper, diced
- 10 ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1/2 cup mozzarella, finely shredded*
- 1/2 cup fresh parmesan, finely shredded*
- Scallions, green tops only, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place a large, oven-safe skillet (I use a 10.25-inch cast iron skillet - other oven-safe skillet types and sizes will work) on the stovetop on medium high heat. Add garlic-infused olive oil.
- While the skillet is heating up, add steak strips, coconut aminos (or tamari or soy sauce), dried chives, salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss the strips with your hands until evenly coated in sauce and seasonings.
- Once the skillet is hot, add steak and stir fry for 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove steak strips to a plate, leaving the juices in the pan.
- Add green bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Add steak back to the skillet, scraping any juices from the plate to the skillet with a spatula (leave no flavor behind!). Mix steak and vegetables together. Top with cheese and allow the skillet to sit off heat, covered, until cheese is melted, or preheat broiler and set under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to brown.
- Serve skillet on its own or alongside a green salad. If not needing low carb / Keto, you can also serve on low FODMAP sourdough or gluten-free baguettes (see my Low FODMAP French Dip Sandwich post for options).
Notes
- FODMAPs: See post above for detailed FODMAP information on each ingredient.
- Steak: it’s best to go with steak with some marbling. Using leaner cuts of steak will leave you hungry. Stick the steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes prior to slicing to make it easier to slice thinly. Alternatively, you can ask a butcher to slice it for you.
- Coconut aminos, tamari or soy sauce: use coconut aminos or tamari sauce if needing gluten-free.
- Cheese: If needing fully lactose-free, omit the parmesan and increase mozzarella to 1 cup (don’t use provolone).
