Ingredients

1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced

4 cups broccoli florets

2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tbsp fish sauce (optional, for extra umami)

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Broccoli: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

Combine and Season: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the broccoli. Pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), sesame oil, and erythritol. Stir well to combine and let cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately, either on its own or with a side of cauliflower rice for a complete keto-friendly meal.

Tips for Success

Choose the Right Cut: Sirloin or flank steak works best for this stir-fry because they’re tender and cook quickly. If using a different cut, make sure to slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for variety.

Make It Spicy: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.

This Keto Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry is not only a nutritious option but also a time-saver for busy weeknights. With its savory flavors and satisfying texture, it’s sure to become a staple in your keto meal rotation. Enjoy!
