Ingredients: 1.5 lbs sirloin or flank steak (cut into thin long strips for a stir-fry); 2 tbsp coconut aminos ((or soya sauce)); 1/2 tsp salt; 1 tbsp sesame oil; 1/4 tsp ground black pepper; 1 tsp arrowroot flour ((or corn flour)); 1/4 tsp baking soda; 2 broccoli heads; 2 cloves garlic; 1 inch fresh ginger; 2 tbsp water; 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee; 2 tbsp coconut aminos ((or soya sauce)); 1 tbsp fish sauce; 2 tsp sesame oil; 1/4 tsp ground black pepper; Salt to taste

Another one of J’s favs.

As with most stir-fries, this one comes together very quickly. During our Whole30 we ate this with spaghetti squash which we cooked in the microwave* (kudos to my sister for that tip!) both can be cooked at the same time, and are ready in about 15 mins!

Ingredients

For beef:

1.5 lbs sirloin or flank steak cut into thin long strips for a stir-fry
2 tbsp coconut aminos (or soya sauce)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp arrowroot flour (or corn flour)
1/4 tsp baking soda

For stir-fry:

2 broccoli heads
2 cloves garlic
1 inch fresh ginger
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
2 tbsp coconut aminos (or soya sauce)
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Instructions

For Beef:

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Allow it to sit while you prep the other ingredients for the stir fry.

For Stir-fry:

This goes quickly, so have all your ingredients out, measured and ready to go.
Chop broccoli in florets. Mince garlic, peel and chop ginger. Mix sauce ingredients (coconut aminos, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt and black pepper) in a small bowl.
Heat large sauce pan or wok on medium. Add coconut oil or ghee. Add ginger and garlic and stir fry a few seconds till fragrant and starting to turn brown.
Turn up heat to medium-high and add the beef mixture. Spread beef out to thin layer and stir-fry a few mins to let the outside turn brown and crisp.
When beef is almost done add the broccoli and water. Cover with a lid and steam for 2 mins or until broccoli is bright green, but still crisp.
Add the prepared sauce ingredients and stir fry about more 1 minute to let the sauce coat the beef and broccoli.
Serve over warm spaghetti squash noodles*.

Notes

*For 15 Minute Spaghetti Squash:

Just poke a few holes into the squash with a fork (about 8-10) and

microwave with a paper towel under it for 5 mins. Turn it a quarter turn on its side, then cook for another 5 mins. Do this one more time, for a total of 15 mins. When done, wait a few minutes for it to be cool enough to handle, then cut in half and scrape out and toss the seeds. Scrape out the spaghetti strands with a fork and serve!
