- 1/4 cup cooking oil, divided for stir-frying
- 1/2 head of broccoli, ~ 1 heaping cup
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 – 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp arrowroot flour
- 1/3 cup carrot slices, optional
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper slices, optional
Stir Fry Sauce
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup water or beef stock
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tbsp arrowroot flour
Instructions
- Cut the flank beef steak into medium/thin strips, marinate with coconut aminos, baking soda, and arrowroot flour. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 2 – 3 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and saute for 20 – 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add broccoli and carrots, stir continuously and sauté for 3 – 4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Push the veggies to the side and add 1 – 2 tablespoon in the middle of the pan. Place the beef slices in. Sear both sides until golden brown and to preferred doneness.
- Turn the heat to low and stir gently until the sauce becomes sticky and thoroughly coats the beef and broccoli stir fry.
- Serve the beef stir fry on a bed of rice and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onion (optional).
Notes
- You can add additional salt to the beef marinade, but take into consideration that the coconut aminos are salty itself.
