Ingredients for Keto Beef & Broccoli

• 500–600 g beef (thinly sliced — sirloin, flank, or steak)
• 300 g broccoli (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos or tamari (sugar-free)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or ghee
• 2 tbsp butter (for sauce)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger (or ½ tsp dried)
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar (sugar-free)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: pinch of sesame seeds or a drop of sesame oil

Instructions

1. Prep the broccoli: Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil or prepare a steamer. Cook the broccoli florets for 3–4 minutes, just until tender but still bright green. Avoid overcooking, as broccoli will continue to cook later in the skillet. Drain well and set aside. This step ensures the broccoli stays tender without becoming mushy during the stir-fry.
2. Cook the beef: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Heat olive oil or ghee in a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 3–5 minutes, stirring minimally to allow browning. Season with salt and pepper. Once browned but still juicy, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the sauce: Lower the heat slightly and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in coconut aminos or tamari, vinegar, and 1–2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to combine flavors.
4. Combine: Return the beef and broccoli to the skillet. Toss well to coat everything evenly in the sauce and heat through for 1–2 minutes.
5. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish if desired. Serve immediately.
