A quick, flavorful dish featuring tender beef, crisp broccoli, and aromatic ginger for a healthy meal.

# Ingredient List:

→ Beef

01 - 1.1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

→ Vegetables

02 - 10 oz broccoli florets
03 - 2 green onions, sliced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

→ Sauce

06 - 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari for gluten-free, soy sauce if not strict keto)
07 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
09 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 teaspoon erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
11 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

12 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
13 - Additional sliced green onions

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine beef slices with 1 tablespoon coconut aminos and half the grated ginger in a medium bowl. Set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and keep aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add sesame oil. Sauté garlic, remaining ginger, and green onions for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
05 - Return beef to skillet. Add remaining coconut aminos, rice vinegar, optional sweetener, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
06 - Plate the stir fry and garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 30 minutes, which means weeknight dinners suddenly feel manageable instead of stressful.
  • The ginger and sesame oil combination tastes so vibrant you'll forget you're eating keto-friendly food.
  • Perfectly tender beef and crispy broccoli come together without fussy techniques or ingredient lists that require a specialty store trip.
02 -
  • Slice your beef against the grain—this single decision determines whether you're chewing or actually enjoying tender beef.
  • Don't skip the single layer when searing beef; crowding the pan creates steam instead of that golden crust, and steam is the opposite of flavor.
  • Taste the sauce before combining everything and adjust the vinegar or sweetener to your preference; everyone's idea of balanced is slightly different.
03 -
  • Keep your knife sharp and your cutting board ready before you turn on the stove—prep determines whether this is a relaxed 30 minutes or a chaotic rush.
  • Taste as you go and trust your instincts on heat level and vinegar balance; recipes are guides, not laws, and your palate knows what it wants.
