Whip up this quick keto low carb beef and broccoli stiry fry recipe that is better than takeout from your favorite restaurant. Tender beef, broccoli, in a savory sauce. Yum!
In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar substitute and the lemon juice.
Pour the marinade mixture over the steak, and add pepper to taste. Toss to coat well. Marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the steak to the heated skillet (discarding remaining marinade), and cook for 5-8 minutes until it is seared well and reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the steak is cooking, lightly blanch the broccoli florets or broccolini for 3-4 minutes, and then rinse under cold water.
When the steak is almost done cooking, add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Mix together the other ⅓ cup of soy sauce, bone broth and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar substitute. You can also add a pinch of xanthan gum to help thicken the sauce mixture. A little goes a long way.
Add the broccoli to the skillet with the steak, and pour the sauce over the broccoli and beef. Stir to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
