Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons low carb sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or xanthan gum for thickening)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional garnish: Sesame seeds, sliced green onions

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, low carb sweetener, rice vinegar, and beef broth to make the sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the broccoli florets. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli.
6. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour it over the beef and broccoli in the skillet.
7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
8. If needed, dissolve cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and add to the skillet to thicken the sauce further.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve the Low Carb Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
