Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, reduce heat to medium, add 1 tbsp fresh minced ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 6 cups fresh spinach and stir-fry for 2 minutes until wilted. Return the beef to the wok.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 1 more minute until sauce coats the beef and spinach.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving hot as a quick keto dinner.
