Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil
- 1 lb steak, sliced thinly 0.45 kg
- 2 medium crowns broccoli, stems removed
For Sauce
- 3/4 cup coconut aminos (6 tablespoons)
- 1.5 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon freshly minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener optional, if you want the sauce sweet. omit for Whole30
On Side
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional, if desired
Instructions
- Add coconut oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once melted, add in slices of steak and cook covered until steak is no longer pink, stirring occassionally. This should take around 4-5 minutes.
- Remove cooked steak from the pan and add in broccoli, along with about 1/2 cup of water. Steam broccoli until just tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- While the broccoli is steaming, mix all sauce ingredients together in a bowl. The sweetener is optional, and can easily be omitted for Whole30 without much impact on the overall taste.
- Once broccoli is tender, drain excess liquid and add in cooked steak and sauce. Stir to coat the broccoli and steak with the sauce. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken a bit more. Remove from heat and serve right away. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
