Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still slightly pink in the center, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 2 sliced carrots to the skillet, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
4. Step 4: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos along with 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional sea salt if needed, then serve immediately.
