Ingredients

  • pounds beef steak round steak or other, cut against the grain into thin strips
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli cut into 1" pieces

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the avocado oil. Once hot, add the beef and cook for about 1 minute, breaking up any clumps with a spoon. Be sure not to overcrowd the skillet, cooking the beef in two batches if necessary.
  • Add the pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic and cook until the beef has a little pink remaining, or about 1-2 minutes more.
  • Next, add the brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Cook until all ingredients are bubbling, then add the broccoli, red peppers, and carrots. Bring to a simmer again and simmer until the broccoli is bright green, or about 3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth, then add to the skillet and cook until the sauce is bubbly and thick.
  • Serve the beef stir fry in a bowl over cooked rice, topped with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
