Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides; remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender and bright green, then return the cooked beef to the skillet.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper, tossing to coat the beef and broccoli evenly. Cook for 1 more minute until heated through and flavors meld.
