Ingredients
-
2 lbs flank steak
-
8 cups chopped broccoli
Beef Marinade:
-
2 tbsp liquid aminos
-
1 tsp ginger
-
½ tsp minced garlic
Sauce:
-
2 tbsp sesame oil
-
½ cup beef broth
-
½ cup liquid aminos
-
1 tbsp ginger
-
2 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Grab a large cutting board and a good sharp knife. Cut the flank steak into long strips, then cut each strip in half. You want bite-sized pieces but preferably not small chunks.
- Put the steak in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tsp ginger, 2 tbsp liquid aminos, and ½ tsp minced garlic. Mix together and let marinate.
- In another small bowl add the sauce ingredients: 2 tbsp sesame oil, ½ cup beef broth, ½ cup liquid aminos, 1 tbsp ginger, 2 tsp garlic. Stir the sauce together.
- In a large frying pan add the chopped broccoli with ¼ cup of water. Steam the broccoli on medium heat. You can use a lid to help steam the broccoli quicker, it should only take about 5 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set it aside.
- Add the beef to the frying pan and cook on medium-high heat. Once the meat is just about cooked add the sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes. The sauce should thicken, but if it’s not, then add in ¼ tsp of xanthan gum.
- Now add in the broccoli and mix it into the sauce.
- Serve by itself, over cauliflower fried rice, or shirataki noodles.

The best kinds of steak to use are flank steak, chuck roast, or sirloin.
I found that using coconut aminos does not need another thickening agent added to it.
Soy sauce and liquid aminos may need to be thickened.
If the sauce needs thickening, combine a ¼ tsp of xanthan gum with 1 tbsp of cold water then add to the pan.
For those with a soy allergy use Coconut Aminos.
I recommend steaming the broccoli first just until tender, not mushy.
