Looking for a quick, healthy, and keto-friendly dinner? This skillet beef and broccoli stir-fry is perfect! It combines tender slices of beef with crisp broccoli in a savory sauce, all cooked in one pan for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by heating one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender.
Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sweetener if using. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Once done, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot. This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
Tips for Success
- Use thinly sliced beef for quick cooking and tender texture.
- Feel free to add other keto-friendly vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Adjust the soy sauce to taste, especially if you prefer a saltier flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
This keto beef and broccoli stir-fry is a delicious way to enjoy a low-carb, protein-packed meal that comes together in minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep!
