  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Beef and Marinade

  • 1 lb Flat Iron steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tsp Root ginger, peeled and grated (fresh, not powdered)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, chopped

Vegetables

  • 1/2 lb Broccoli, cut into small florets

Oils and Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Fish Sauce

Instructions

  1. Slice the Beef: Cut the flat iron steak into very thin slices against the grain to ensure tenderness and quick cooking.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Place the sliced beef in a small bag or bowl and add the coconut aminos, grated ginger, and chopped garlic. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Prepare the Broccoli: Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them for two minutes, then drain thoroughly to remove excess water. This helps maintain a crisp texture during stir-frying.
  4. Cook the Beef: Heat the coconut oil in a large wok or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated beef (drained, but reserve the marinade liquid) for 1-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through, then remove from the pan.
  5. Cook the Broccoli: In the same pan, stir-fry the blanched broccoli for about 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Add Sauce and Simmer: Pour the reserved marinade liquid into the pan with the broccoli and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the vegetables.
  7. Combine and Season: Return the cooked beef to the pan, stir to combine and warm through. Add the fish sauce and toasted sesame oil, mixing well to enhance the flavor.
  8. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve the beef and broccoli immediately for a satisfying keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh grated ginger for the best flavor—avoid powdered ginger.
  • Blanching the broccoli before stir-frying helps maintain its vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • You can substitute flat iron steak with other thinly sliced beef cuts if unavailable.
  • Adjust fish sauce according to taste as it is quite salty.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prepping and reheats well in a skillet or microwave.
