Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger root, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the steak slices with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, and arrowroot starch. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef slices in a single layer. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the prepared sauce mixture and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce cook until it starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the beef to the skillet along with the blanched broccoli. Toss everything together to ensure the sauce thoroughly coats the beef and broccoli.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve the stir fry hot on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
