Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce if not strict keto)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp low-carb sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Skillet or wok
  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Knife and Cutting Board
  • 1 Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. Slice the Beef: Start by thinly slicing the flank steak against the grain to ensure tenderness. For easier cutting, partially freeze the beef for 20 minutes beforehand.
  2. Hot Up the Pan: Place a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat, add avocado oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
  3. Cook the Beef: Brown the beef strips in batches and do not overcrowd the pan. Brown and remove and reserve.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, cook the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Pour in coconut aminos, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and low carb sweetener. Whisk until combined.
  5. Mix Everything Together: Add back the beef to the pan, then stir well and in the sauce, continue to cook for a few minutes, or until it thickens up slightly.
  6. Finish and Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with Cauliflower rice or zucchini pasta.

Notes

  • Freeze beef for 20 minutes if you want thinner slices.
  • Don’t crowd the pan; beef should be cooked in batches.
  • Taste the sauce, and adjust sweet or salt level to your taste!
  • Serve over cauliflower rice for a complete keto dinner.
