Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the wok along with 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp finely grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to the wok and pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce lightly coats the ingredients. Serve immediately.
