Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; whisk until smooth and set aside.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned but still tender. Remove beef from pan and set aside.

- Step 5: Return the beef to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
- Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed cauliflower rice if desired.
