Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 for garnish green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing all ingredients. Thinly slice the beef sirloin into bite-sized pieces. Wash and cut broccoli into small florets. Mince garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, beef broth, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and season with salt and black pepper. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture and stir well. The sauce will thicken quickly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef and broccoli are well coated with the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Low Carb Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry.
