Ingredients
Sauce
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup low-sodium beef or chicken broth
- 1 tbsp brown monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
Stir-fry
- 1 1/4 lb flank or sirloin steak, sliced thin against the grain
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
- 5 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
To serve
- 4 cups riced cauliflower
Directions
- Whisk the soy sauce, broth, monk fruit, sesame oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking so it does not clump. Set aside.
- Slice the steak into 1/4-inch strips against the grain. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a large wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering. Sear the beef in two batches in a single layer, 1 to 2 minutes per side, until browned. Move to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil and the broccoli with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Uncover, add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry 30 seconds.
- Return the beef, pour in the sauce and toss 1 to 2 minutes, until glossy and slightly thickened.
- Meanwhile, microwave the riced cauliflower covered 4 to 5 minutes, or sauté until tender. Serve the stir-fry over it and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
