Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice 12 oz sirloin steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips, then pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through; transfer to a plate.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant without browning.
  4. Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 tbsp olive oil, stirring constantly to coat. Sauté for 4 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender but still bright green.
  5. Step 5: Return beef to skillet with 3 tbsp tamari and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes and toss for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats ingredients.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 2 cups cauliflower rice and cook for 3 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy at the edges, stirring frequently.
