Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, against the grain for tenderness.
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut aminos, pineapple juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir in the arrowroot powder until dissolved. Set aside as the marinade.
Add the beef strips to a zip-top bag or shallow bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the beef, reserving the remaining marinade for later. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for better flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the broccoli florets and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Stir-fry the broccoli for about 4-5 minutes, until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the reserved marinade over the beef and broccoli.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the beef and broccoli stir fry immediately, with additional seasoning of sea salt and pepper if desired.
