HOW TO MAKE KETO BEEF AND BROCCOLI
To start with this easy recipe, all we need is 20 minutes and a handful of ingredients which are thinly cut steak, soy sauce, low carb sweetener, minced garlic, ginger, avocado oil, xanthan gum, beef broth, and broccoli florets.
First we brown the thinly sliced steak in avocado oil over high heat. We want to make sure we get the pieces nice and browned for extra flavor.
Start with a little oil in the hot skillet and add in the beef.
After the steak is browned, remove it from the pan to a bowl or plate and set aside.
Now we can start to cook our broccoli. I used florets that were pre-cut, you could also use frozen florets if you want!
Add a little more oil to the pan and cook the broccoli over medium heat until it is fork tender. This will take about 10 minutes.
Now we can add in all of the good stuff to bring it all together. That would be soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, beef broth and low carb sweetener.

JENNIFER'S TIPS
- Thinly Sliced Steak - You can use any steak you like, just keep in mind cheaper cuts will be more tough than more expensive cuts. I would go with a sirloin and cut against the grain.
- Ginger Paste - This ingredient is found in most grocery stores in the produce section. I like it for it's convenience, but if you want to avoid the added ingredients, you can also use fresh minced ginger

takes much longer if you include all the prep time.Way too much soy sauce(1/2cup).Didn’t thicken with 1/2 tsp xanthan gum,had to add another 1/2 tsp.

I’m new to keto and I have to tell you all this measuring is messing with my mind. I only have approx. 2 cups of broccoli (350g) should I just halve all the rest of the ingredients and make this for two people or can I use the pound of steak anyways seeing that’s low in carbs.

I would just make the full recipe!

This was amazing. And the fact that I had everything except for avocado oil, subbed coconut oil, made it even better. Oh and I did add a wee bit sesame oil. Saved it to my Pinterest.
Brian Wallis says
Great recipe but you should change the link to a soy sauce that is gluten free (the link you have now the second ingredient is wheat) or change your keyword information.
It is a great recipe, love the sweetener alternative, thank you for sharing!!
Cheers

Good point. I will amend
Kaley says
Good stuff! Only thing I did differently was to use part sesame oil for the flavor it gives to Asian food. Thanks!
Kristy says

jenniferbanz says
I do not have that information at the moment but I will work on getting that the next time I make it.
