Beef
- 1 lb (450g) beef flank steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables
Sauce and Seasoning
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Prepare the Beef: Thinly slice the beef flank steak against the grain for tenderness. This ensures quick and even cooking during the stir-fry process.
- Stir-Fry Beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add half the sesame oil. Once hot, add the beef slices and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
- Cook Broccoli and Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining sesame oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to combine all ingredients. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the broccoli reaches your desired tenderness.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a satisfying keto-friendly main dish.
Notes
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
- For extra flavor, add ginger or chili flakes.
- Adjust the soy sauce amount to control sodium levels.
- Slice the beef thinly for the best texture.
- Serve with cauliflower rice to keep it keto compliant.
