Bobbie's tips: flank steak gives the best flavour, coconut aminos make it soy-free, cauliflower rice keeps it lower-carb, and it stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Ingredients

1 lb lean beef (sirloin, flank or tenderloin), thinly sliced against the grain
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
4 cups broccoli florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
2 tbsp honey (or sugar-free alternative)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
3–4 cups cooked brown rice, jasmine rice or cauliflower rice (for serving)

Method

1
Prepare the beef: in a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, the cornstarch and black pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
2
Make the sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
3
Cook the beef: heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Cook the broccoli: in the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
5
Add the aromatics: add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6
Combine: return the beef to the skillet, pour in the sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
7
Serve hot over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
