Keto Beef & Broccoli

 

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced against the grain (Ask your butcher to slice it thinly)
• 4 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 5 cups fresh broccoli florets (can use frozen but may need to adjust cooking time)
• 3 TB water

Stir Fry Sauce

• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 TB sesame oil
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 in ginger minced
• 1/2 cup Braggs aminos
• 3 TB Lakanto monkfruit golden (Swerve Brown can also be used.)
• 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum to thicken or arrowroot
• 1/2 tsp warm water
• Serve with a 10-12 oz size steam bag of Riced Cauliflower - follow microwave directions to steam

Instructions

• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat with 2 TB olive or avocado oil.
• Sauté broccoli for 3 min.
• Add 3TB water and simmer with the lid on over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until broccoli reaches desired tenderness.
• Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside.
• Add another 2 TB olive or avocado oil to medium-high heat.
• Add steak and sear on both sides until nicely browned. When the steak is brown on one side, it should flip easily. If you try to flip it before it has seared, it will stick to the pan. (It takes 3-5 minutes per side.)
• Meanwhile, combine the stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, leaving out the Xanthan Gum. Stir to combine.
• Add the sauce ingredients to the skillet and bring to a boil on medium heat. Cover turn down to low and simmer on medium for 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, add the 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum and 1/2 tsp warm water. Stir to combine. It will thicken quickly.
• Scrape mixture into your skillet with the sauce and whisk to combine.
• Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
