Quick and easy keto beef and broccoli stir-fry made with tender steak, fresh broccoli, and a low-carb garlic sauce. Ready in under 30 minutes and better than takeout.
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
1/4 cup coconut aminos (or tamari)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes or hot sauce
Slice steak thinly against the grain. Freeze for 15 minutes first if needed for easier slicing.
Mix coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and xanthan gum in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook 4–5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining oil and broccoli to the pan. Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce. Stir to coat and simmer for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally with cauliflower rice.
Use fresh broccoli for best texture.
Xanthan gum thickens the sauce; skip or reduce if preferred.
Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheat on stovetop for best results.
Works well with cauliflower rice or sautéed cabbage on the side.
