Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 0.5 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and place it in a medium bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.

Step 3

Add the cornstarch slurry to the sliced beef, tossing well to coat. Let it marinate while preparing other ingredients.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper slices. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright and slightly tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high, and add the marinated beef slices to the skillet. Stir-fry the beef for 3-5 minutes until it is browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium, and return the broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet with the beef.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, beef broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables.

Step 9

Toss everything well to combine, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat all ingredients. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Season with black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with rice or cauliflower rice if desired.
