Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb beef (sirloin, skirt steak, or flank steak) – I use sirloin because a) I can typically find it easily and it is budget-friendly)
1 to 2 heads broccoli, broken into florets (or pre-cut bagged)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pieces thin sliced ginger, finely chopped
Olive oil or Ghee
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)

Marinade & Stir Fry Sauce

4 tbsp coconut aminos (divided)
1 tbsp + 2.5 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tbsp red boat fish sauce
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp, freshly grated fresh ginger
3 minced garlic cloves
½ tsp black pepper (divided)
1/4 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp crushed red pepper

Instructions

Combine the ingredients for the marinade and sauce (in two separate bowls) and set aside.
Marinade: 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp sesame oil, ½ tsp sea salt, ¼ tsp baking soda
Sauce: Mix the stir fry sauce by combining 2 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon red boat fish sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and pepper.
Slice the beef into ¼ inch thin slices and place in a pan with the marinade for at least 15 minutes
Chop the broccoli (or take it out the bag if using pre-cut). Put it in a safe microwave bowl with two tablespoons of water and cover. Microwave for 2-3 minutes until it is tender but still has a crunch. Set aside.
Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat along with 1 tablespoon olive oil or ghee. Add garlic, ginger, and salt and mix for about 15 seconds.
Crank up the heat to high and add the marinated beef. Be sure to evenly distribute it and cook for around 2 minutes (without moving it around too much) until the edges are dark – then flip and repeat.
Final Step: Add the sauce. Stir-fry for about 1 min. Then add in broccoli.
Stir-fry for another 30 secs, toss & enjoy.

Notes

This recipe calls for coconut aminos, but if you don’t have these on hand or can’t find in the store, you may substitute with a gluten-free soy sauce or Tamari, but you’ll need to use half the amount as these come with a more robust, saltier flavor.
