Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the skillet, searing it until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, erythritol, beef broth, and xanthan gum until well combined.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the broccoli in the skillet, stirring to coat the broccoli evenly.
- Return the cooked beef slices to the skillet, mixing them with the broccoli and sauce.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Tips
- For added spice, consider adding sliced red chili peppers or a dash of red pepper flakes.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of xanthan gum gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve this dish over cauliflower rice for an even more keto-friendly option.
