Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak strips in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes without stirring to develop a brown crust.
2. Step 2: Stir the beef and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until mostly cooked through, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil along with 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Add 4 cups broccoli florets and toss to coat with the aromatics. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet, then pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir fry everything together for 2 more minutes until sauce is warmed through and coats the beef and broccoli evenly. Serve hot.
