Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef sirloin
  • 4 cups Broccoli florets
  • 4 tbsp Coconut aminos
  • 1/2 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Place the beef strips in a bowl and add 1 tbsp of the 4 tbsp coconut aminos. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. 2While the beef marinates, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tbsp coconut aminos, the 1/2 cup beef broth, and the 1/2 tsp xanthan gum until smooth. Set aside.
  3. 3Place a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Once the oils are shimmering, add the 1 tsp ginger and 2 cloves garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. 4Add the marinated beef strips to the hot skillet. Spread them in a single layer as much as possible. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  5. 5Add the 4 cups broccoli florets to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green. You should still be able to see some firmness in the florets.
  6. 6Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk to ensure the xanthan gum is still incorporated. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli in the skillet. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens to coat the ingredients.
  7. 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Keto Beef and Broccoli immediately.
