Keto Friendly Beef Broccoli Ginger (Print)
Tender beef, crisp broccoli, and ginger create a quick, flavorful low-carb dinner.
# Ingredient List:
→ Beef
01 - 1.1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
→ Vegetables
02 - 10 oz broccoli florets
03 - 2 green onions, sliced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
→ Sauce
06 - 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari for gluten-free, or soy sauce if not strict keto)
07 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
09 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 teaspoon erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
11 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
→ Garnish
12 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
13 - Extra sliced green onions
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine beef slices with 1 tablespoon coconut aminos and half of the grated ginger. Set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Place marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add sesame oil. Sauté garlic, remaining ginger, and green onions for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
05 - Return beef to skillet. Add remaining coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sweetener (if using), and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce slightly thickens.
06 - Transfer to plates and garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onions. Serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It tastes like takeout but keeps you firmly in ketosis without the guilt or the blood sugar spike.
- Tender beef and crisp broccoli come together in less time than it takes to order delivery, and your kitchen actually smells amazing instead of greasy.
02 -
- Overcooking the broccoli is the easiest mistake to make—it goes from crisp to mushy in about sixty seconds, so pull it when it's still got character.
- Slicing your beef against the grain actually matters; with the grain and you're fighting chewiness through the entire dish.
03 -
- Prep everything before you start cooking; stir-frying moves too fast to go hunting for ingredients mid-sear.
- If your sauce seems too thin, give it another minute on medium heat—it will thicken as the liquid reduces, and you'll know when to stop.
