Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado oil, divided
- 1 ½ Pound Thinly Sliced Steak (see notes)
- 4 Cups Broccoli Flourets
- ½ Cup Soy Sauce (use tamari for gluten-free soy sauce)
- 3 Tablespoons sugar free granulated sweetener (see my favorite on Amazon) (see notes)
- 1 Tablespoon Minced fresh Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Ginger paste (see notes)
- ¼ Cup Beef Broth
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (see notes)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over high heat, add 1 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil). Add in the thinkly sliced steak and brown on both sides in the hot pan. Remove from pan to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add in 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add in the broccoli florets and sauté' until tender, about 10 minutes. You can make this process go by more quickly by adding a couple tablespoons of water and covering with a lid to let the broccoli steam.
- Add the beef strips back to the pan with the broccoli. Add in the sauce ingredients :soy sauce, swerve, garlic, ginger, broth, and xanthan gum. Stir to combine and let thicken for a few minutes. Season with red pepper flakes for a little added heat if desired.
Notes
- 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 but skirt steak or flank steak works as well. Be sure to cut the steak 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
