Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) grass fed beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (a soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Beef:
In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with minced garlic, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
Cook the Broccoli:
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they’re tender but still crisp. You can do this by boiling them for about 2-3 minutes or steaming them for 5-6 minutes. Once done, set them aside.
Cook the Beef:
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and any remaining marinade. Cook for a minute, then return the beef to the skillet.
Combine and Finish:
Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet with the beef. Stir everything together until the beef and broccoli are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve:
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious low-carb, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, pork-free ketogenic beef and broccoli stir-fry!
