Ingredients

  • 1 lb skirt/flank steak
  • 1 lb head broccoli
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil divided

Stir fry sauce

  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce optional
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger powder or fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  • In a small bowl, whisk well all the stir fry sauce ingredients.
  • Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, continue to stir fry for 2 minutes, more, or until the steak is just cooked.
  • Set aside and repeat with the remaining beef.
  • To the same preheated pan add the broccoli and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to a medium and stir in the stir fry sauce. The sauce should start to thicken as it starts to bubble, so stir often.
  • Once the sauce coats the back of the spoon, return the beef to the pan.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

  • any oil of choice would work, you may use sesame oil or groundnut oil.
  • use any cut of meat of choice. Trim fat off as much as possible.
  • You may use fresh ginger and fresh garlic, finely grate them.
  • If you have frozen broccoli, you may use that. Or, you can use any veggies of choice. Consider adding some sliced carrots.
  • If you do not have beef stock, you may use vegetable stock.
  • The hot sauce is optional but adds a nice kick to it if you can handle a little heat.
