Calories: 396kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces about 1/8-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 6 cups broccoli florets about 2 large crowns
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Stir Fry Sauce
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- ¼ cup hot water
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ tablespoon grated ginger about 1-inch piece
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch
Optional for serving:
- 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the stir fry sauce in a small mixing bowl and stir together until the coconut sugar has fully dissolved. Set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, cover with a lid, and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring several times until broccoli is tender but still crisp. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside.
- While the broccoli is cooking, thinly slice the flank steak into ⅛-inch slices. Cut against the grain, then cut the slices into bite sized pieces, and set aside.
- Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sauté for about 5-6 min, stirring throughout so that the meat cooks on all sides. Once the meat is fully cooked, drain any excess liquid from the pan if needed.
- Add the sauce to the skillet with the meat and reduce the heat to a low/medium. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Add the broccoli and stir to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately over cauliflower rice or white rice.
