• 1 lb Flat Iron steak, thinly sliced against the grain

• 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
• 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil

Step 1: Prep and Marinate

Cut the flat iron steak into very thin slices against the grain to ensure tenderness. Place the beef into a small sealable bag with the coconut aminos, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Step 2: Prepare the Broccoli

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for exactly two minutes. Drain them thoroughly and set aside. This ensures the broccoli is perfectly cooked once stir-fried.

Step 3: Sear the Beef

Drain the beef from the marinade, but be sure to reserve the liquid for the stir-fry sauce. Heat half the coconut oil in a large wok or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned, usually between one and three minutes.

Step 4: Combine and Finish

Remove the beef from the skillet and add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the broccoli for about three minutes until crisp-tender. Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for two more minutes, then return the beef to the pan. Add the fish sauce and toasted sesame oil, stir to coat, and serve immediately.

Serve this dish hot as a standalone meal or pair it with low-carb options for a complete dinner experience.

• Serve over a bed of cauliflower rice to soak up the leftover savory stir-fry sauce.
• Pair with a side of sesame-crusted zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles.
• Add a side of refreshing cucumber salad to balance the heat.
• Top with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions for an extra pop of flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm in a pan over medium heat with a splash of water to prevent the meat from drying out. Do not freeze, as the broccoli texture will become mushy upon thawing.

Can I use frozen broccoli?

You can, but fresh is best. If using frozen, skip the blanching step and stir-fry until the ice has evaporated and the florets are heated through.

Why is my beef chewy?

Ensure you are slicing against the grain and not overcooking the meat. Flat iron steak is naturally tender, but quick high-heat cooking is essential.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Yes, keep the cooked beef and broccoli in a container and reheat gently when you are ready to eat.
