Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin Use for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • 2 cups broccoli Fresh or frozen, prepped to retain crunch.
  • 2 cloves garlic Mince for vibrant flavor.
  • 1 inch ginger Fresh, minced.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos For savory depth in the sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil For a delicious finishing touch.
Optional Add-ins
  • 2 cups spinach or kale Swap for stronger flavor.
  • 1 cup bell peppers For added color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Marination
  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering.
  2. Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add a touch more sesame oil if needed, and toss in the broccoli. Add a splash of water, cover, and steam for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet. Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  5. Enjoy your stir fry immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat by microwaving or stir-frying on medium heat to retain flavors and freshness.
