Keto Beef and Broccoli
This Keto Beef and Broccoli is the perfect low carb meal- thinly sliced steak is pan seared and tossed in stir fry sauce with tender broccoli! This one pan beef recipe is ready in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb flank steak sliced into thin strips
- 1-2 tablespoons oil for cooking the steak
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar monkfruit
- 1 cup broth any variety
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum or 1 tablespoon cornstarch if not keto
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. In a large skillet over medium high heat add 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Add the beef in batches and sear until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, monkfruit and broth. Stir well and bring the stir fry sauce to a simmer.
- Add the fresh broccoli to the sauce, toss to coat. In another small bowl combine the xanthan gum and water. Stir the mixture into the sauce, as it simmers the sauce will begin to thicken.
- Add the steak back to the skillet and heat through. Serve immediately with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
Xanthan gum is a low carb thickener. If you wish to skip this you can, you will just need to allow the sauce to simmer longer before adding the broccoli so it reduces and thickens on its own. It will not get as thick, if you do not use a thickening agent.
You can also use cornstarch if you prefer, it has 6 net carbs per tablespoon so it will add 1 net carb per serving.
