Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound steak, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot starch
  • 1/4 cup green onion
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Method

  1. Add the sliced steak, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper, to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. 
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of avocado oil and then add in the steak. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes until browned flipping halfway through. Once cooked, remove the steak from pan and set aside. 
  3. While the steak is cooking, make the stir fry sauce. Add the coconut aminos, sesame oil, red pepper, and arrowroot starch to a small bowl and whisk until well combined. 
  4. Once the steak has been removed from the pan, add in the broccoli florets and ⅓ cup of water. Cook the broccoli until it is bright green and slightly tender but still has crunch; around 4-5 minutes depending on the size of the broccoli florets. 
  5. Add the steak and any juices back to the skillet and then add the stir fry sauce. Give everything a stir to combine steak, broccoli, and sauce and cook for one more minute. The sauce should thicken a bit as it heats. 
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds and then serve the stir-fry immediately. Eat and enjoy!
