Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Marinade
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (can use liquid aminos)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Vegetables and Finishing
- 4 cups broccoli, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Slice the steak: Slice flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips and place in a mixing bowl to prepare for marinating.
- Prepare marinade: In a separate bowl, mix together coconut oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Pour this marinade over the sliced steak, ensuring thorough coating.
- Sear the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak along with half of the marinade and sear for about 5 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Cook broccoli: Add the remaining sesame oil and chopped broccoli to the pan with the rest of the marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender but still retains a bright green color.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the finely chopped parsley for freshness. Serve hot for a satisfying keto-friendly meal.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Make sure to slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Adjust the amount of garlic depending on preference.
- This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
- Use fresh broccoli for best texture and flavor; frozen broccoli can be used but may alter cooking time slightly.
