Ingredients
- 1.5 pound top sirloin - OR other lean steak, sliced into thin strips against the grain
- 2 TBSP arrowroot powder - OR cornstarch
- 1 pound broccolini - cut into 2inch sections
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos - OR low sodium tamari/soy sauce (coconut aminos are much preferred)
- 4 cloves garlic - minced, OR 1 Dorot garlic pod per clove
- 2 tsp ginger - minced OR 1 Dorot ginger pod per 2tsp
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup water - only to thin out sauce if necessary
- EVOO/avocado oil - for cooking
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine thinly sliced steak with arrowroot (or cornstarch) and a pinch of pepper. Toss to coat well.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add a few slices of steak to the pan making sure to keep them separated. Cook 60-90 seconds per side, then transfer to a clean plate or bowl. Repeat with remaining steak, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- When all the steak is cooked, add broccoli to the pan. If necessary, add a little more oil to the pan to prevent burning/sticking.
- Cook 4-5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. While the broccoli is cooking, mix up your sauce by combining the coconut aminos OR tamari, garlic, ginger, and pepper.
- When broccoli is cooked through, transfer to plate/bowl with the steak. Pour sauce into the pan and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Return cooked broccoli and steak to the pan and stir to coat. The sauce should naturally thicken as it heats through and bubbles for a few minutes (3-5 minutes). If sauce is too thick, add a bit of water (or more coconut aminos/tamari).
- Serve warm with fried cauliflower rice or quinoa.

Recipe Notes
Even low-sodium Tamari and Soy Sauce will have significantly more sodium than coconut aminos and may make the dish too salty. Less is more if using anything but coconut aminos. You can always add a little extra at the end if you need more.
