Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Sweeteners and Garnishes

  • 1 teaspoon erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli becomes tender-crisp.
  3. Combine and Season: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and erythritol if using. Stir everything well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors and heat through.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • If you prefer, substitute coconut oil with olive oil or avocado oil.
  • The erythritol is optional and adds a slight sweetness to balance the soy sauce; omit if you want a more savory dish.
  • Ensure to slice the flank steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • Broccoli can be substituted with other keto-friendly vegetables like cauliflower or bok choy.
