Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin steak
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Begin by slicing the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, ensuring you cut against the grain for a tender texture.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, xanthan gum, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the beef slices to the marinade, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour if you have time.
While the meat marinates, prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Optionally, blanch in boiling water for 1-2 minutes for a brighter color and tender-crisp texture. Drain and set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef, spreading it out evenly in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and just cooked through.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Return the beef to the skillet, and toss everything together to combine. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is coated evenly with the sauce.
Garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto-friendly Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry!
