This recipe provides a delicious and healthy Keto Beef and Broccoli dish, perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. It features thinly sliced beef sirloin or flank steak stir-fried with tender-crisp broccoli and coated in a savory, sugar-free sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil, divided
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1/4 cup tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, erythritol (if using), xanthan gum (if using), salt, and pepper to make the marinade/sauce.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to 2-3 tablespoons of the marinade mixture, tossing to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil to the skillet. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp. You can add a tablespoon or two of water and cover the skillet for a minute to steam them if they are too firm.
  5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli.
  6. Pour the reserved sauce over the beef and broccoli. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and thicken slightly (especially if using xanthan gum).
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, slice the beef very thinly against the grain.
  • Adjust the amount of erythritol to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Xanthan gum is optional but helps to thicken the sauce.
  • If you don’t have tamari, you can use soy sauce, but tamari is generally preferred for keto as it’s gluten-free.
  • Cook the beef in batches to ensure even browning and prevent overcrowding the pan.
