Steps
On a cutting board, lay your skirt steak longwise and cut into three inch segments, then cut each segment thinly against the grain.
In a medium bowl, combine the steak, 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil, the arrowroot, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper. Toss to coat thoroughly. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. When hot, reduce to medium-high and melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in the pan. Add half the steak and cook until seared, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned, about 30 seconds. Transfer the steak to a large plate and set aside. Carefully wipe out the pan with a paper towel, then add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and repeat with the remaining steak. Set aside with the other cooked steak.
Wipe out the pan and return it to medium-high heat. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots, and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 30 seconds. Add the bell peppers, scallions, Thai chiles, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the bell peppers begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the green beans and cook, stirring well, until warmed through, about 1 minute more. Add the peperoncini and garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Return the beef to the pan, along with any juices collected on the plate, and add the coconut aminos and the peperoncini brine. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the basil, stir again, and turn off the heat. Serve.

Kelly Kardos on 2021-01-22 (5 stars): I’m so excited for blog readers, crumbles, and anyone who stumbles into this site who don’t have your delicious book to get their hands on this recipe. It’s my absolute favorite and is in my regular dinner rotation.
Lesley S on 2021-02-08 (5 stars): We make this recipe on repeat once a week. It is just delightful! I pull some meat and veggies out before I add the pepperoncinis the kids and they devour it! It is so flavorful and reheats well even though to have leftovers I have to double the recipe! This is absolutely one of my favorite recipes in your book.
Charlene on 2022-02-04 (5 stars): I love this recipe for breakfast.
I make it (usually minus the basil), add extra veg and divide it in 4/5 portions and eat it with diced and air fried seasoned potatoes with a runny fried egg on top.
It is my absolute favourite breakfast on Whole30 since I find it so satisfying.
Camille Lieb on 2022-07-25 (5 stars): Made this tonight for the first… but certainly not the last… time! It was so delicious. I was nervous about the spice level since I’ve never cooked with Thai peppers before, but it was perfect. Can’t wait to make it again!
Jasmine J on 2022-07-26 (5 stars): I have no idea why I haven't posted a review of this until now! I've been making this at least twice a month for about 2 years now, it's one of our favs and so much better than takeout! Great recipe from Teri and team in the cookbook, which if you don't have, what are you doing?!
Nichole on 2022-08-24 (5 stars): This is honestly one of the best recipes I've ever had! A favorite in my household that we try to make at least once a month. SOOO good! I often use jalapenos in place of the thai peppers.
kelly sapio on 2023-01-26 (5 stars): I love this recipe. I have also used ground beef and served it over puréed cauliflower and it was fabulous as well.
Leah McCloud on 2023-07-20 (3 stars): I’m not sure if I did something wrong because every comment here and on IG has raving reviews but we’re just not overly impressed. It’s so coconut oil tasting and my the streak is chewy. I followed it to a T minus the Thai chilies (couldn’t find anywhere). Im wondering if I cut the meat wrong when I sliced it? I rewatched the video and it looks like I did it right. Either way, I will try again! Next time using avocado oil to hopefully tame the coconut flavor
Carolyn Town on 2024-01-26 (5 stars): This recipe was so good I almost licked the plate. The Pepperoncini really made the dish something extra.
