Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak and season with 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender, then remove beef from the pan and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the same pan. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 2 cups riced cauliflower, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the pan, pour in 3 tablespoons coconut aminos, and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
