Beef Stir-Fry – Keto Style

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• ½ small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or ½ tsp dried)

For the sauce:

• ¼ cup coconut aminos or tamari
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening, optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the sauce
   In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and xanthan gum (if using). Set aside.
2. Cook the beef
   Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add sliced beef in a single layer. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not overcooked. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the veggies
   In the same pan, add onion, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 4–5 minutes, until just tender.
4. Combine and finish
   Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 1–2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is evenly coated.
5. Serve hot
   Plate over cauliflower rice or eat as-is. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onion, if desired.
