Start by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables, stirring well to coat.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil for added richness.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it a quick toss.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delightful and nutritious keto-friendly meal!
