Ingredients
- 8 oz flank steak
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1.5 cups broccoli
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp chives
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat 8 oz flank steak strips dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, then sear the steak for 2 minutes per side until deeply browned and medium-rare inside.
- Step 2: Remove steak and set aside. Add 1.5 cups broccoli florets to the same skillet with 1 tsp sesame oil, stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender with slight char at edges.
- Step 3: Return steak to skillet, then sprinkle 3 tbsp almond flour over everything. Stir continuously for 1 minute until the flour forms a golden, glossy crust that adheres to the meat and vegetables, coating them evenly without burning.
- Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped chives over the top and serve immediately while the crust remains crisp.
