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. Her card lists 350 calories, 32 g protein, 28 g carbohydrates, 14 g fat and 5 g fibre per serving — this varies with the ingredients used.

Method

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Add the aromatics: add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. 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. 7

    Serve hot over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
