Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
• 0.25 cup beef broth
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, beef broth, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced beef in batches, cooking until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sesame oil.

Step 6

Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets, stir-frying until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, and pour the soy sauce mixture over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the sauce and stir quickly to combine, thickening the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 9

Add the sliced green onions and black pepper, and stir to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
