A quick and flavorful keto-friendly beef and broccoli recipe perfect for meal prep and healthy dinners, featuring a savory sauce with coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or xanthan gum (optional)
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 300 g)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (for sautéing broccoli)
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons beef broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)
  • Thinly sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 1 lb flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or xanthan gum and 1 tablespoon coconut aminos to the beef. Toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets (about 4 cups). Steam lightly for 3-4 minutes or sauté in 1 tablespoon avocado oil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until bright green and tender. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons beef broth or water, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 2 teaspoons minced ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon erythritol. Stir well.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and ginger from the sauce ingredients for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Return beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce mixture and beef broth. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  8. Fold in cooked broccoli florets and toss gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  10. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles, or portion into meal prep containers for later.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef to ensure a good crust. Avoid burning garlic when sautéing to prevent bitterness. If sauce is too thin, add a slurry of arrowroot powder and water to thicken. Thinly slice beef against the grain for tenderness. Broccoli can be steamed or sautéed to preference.
