Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb flank steak Choose a well-trimmed flank or skirt steak and freeze briefly to make thin slicing easier.
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil Avocado oil tolerates high heat and gives a neutral base for searing.
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce Low-sodium keeps the dish balanced; tamari is a gluten-free swap.
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated Grating releases more aroma and blends better than chopped garlic.
  • 2 inches piece ginger, grated Fresh ginger adds warmth and lift.
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar Adds brightness to cut through rich flavors.
  • 4 cups broccoli florets Use fresh, firm florets for the best texture.
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil A finishing oil for aroma; use sparingly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Freeze the steak for 15 minutes, then very thinly slice against the grain and season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large non-stick skillet over high heat, heat avocado oil.
  2. Sear the steak until seared and golden, about 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Add broccoli and let simmer until cooked through and sauce is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  5. Return beef to the pan, along with any juices, and heat until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
  6. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.

Notes

This recipe is versatile; it can be served over cauliflower rice or used in lettuce wraps. Store leftovers in a shallow airtight container for up to 3 days.
