Calories: 498kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef flank steak, inside round, tri-tip are all good choices
- 6 tbsp soy sauce divided (or use coconut aminos)
- 3 tbsp unseasoned rice wine vinegar divided
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 4 each broccoli crowns
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger minced
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp oil divided
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum optional
Instructions
- To marinate the beef, slice it thinly (this is easy if it is still a bit frozen) and combine the beef with 4 tbsp of soy sauce or coconut aminos, 2 tbsp of rice wine vinegar, and 1 tsp of sesame oil. Set aside.
- Cut the broccoli into bite size pieces. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it liberally. Add the broccoli at once and let the pot come back to a boil. Once the pot boils, drain the broccoli and shock it in a bowl of ice water or run very cold tap water over the broccoli. Set the broccoli aside.
- Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Set this aside to make the sauce.
- Add 1 tbsp of oil to a large skillet and heat it over high. Working in batches, cook the beef until browned but not quite cooked all the way through, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the cooked beef and keep cooking the beef in batches, adding more oil as needed, until it is all browned.
- Add 1 tsp of oil to the skillet. Cook the garlic and ginger over medium-high heat until fragrant and soft, about 3-4 minutes. When the garlic and ginger are cooked, add the beef broth and simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors combine. Add 2 tbps soy sauce and 1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Optional step - thicken the sauce with 1/8 tsp of xantahn gum whisked in, or use a cornstarch slurry of 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp of cold water. If using cornstarch, you need to bring the sauce back to a boil.
- Add the beef and the broccoli to the sauce and heat over high heat until warmed through and combined. Dig in!
