Equipment
- 1 large skillet or wok
- 1 cutting board
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain. Cut the broccoli into small florets and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and chili flakes. Add the sliced beef and mix well to coat. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes while you prepare the broccoli.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they become bright green and slightly tender. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the marinated beef along with the marinade. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is cooked through and browned.
- Return the broccoli to the skillet with the beef and stir everything together for an additional 2 minutes to combine and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for more variety.
Make sure not to overcook the broccoli; it should remain crisp.
Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili flakes.
