Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.

- Step 3: Add 3 cups of broccoli florets to the skillet, tossing to combine, then drizzle 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos over the mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Step 4: While the beef and broccoli cook, mix 1/4 cup Whole30 compliant mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of Sriracha and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
- Step 5: Season the stir-fry with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat and serve with a dollop of the spicy mayo on top for a creamy, zesty finish.
