Ingredients

2 tablespoons ghee divided
1 pound venison tenderloin thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 small small onion thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
½ cup coconut aminos
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1½ teaspoons honey
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the ghee.
Add the venison and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Remove the venison from the skillet and set aside.
Return the skillet to the heat and heat the remaining tablespoon of ghee. Add the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Return the venison to the skillet. Stir in the coconut aminos, fish sauce, honey (or monkfruit), salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves before serving.
