  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or beef broth


Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot flour
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted or sesame oil {sesame oil is not considered paleo}


Broccoli:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • 1 head broccoli cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper falkes {optional}


Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
  • 1 green onion white and green sliced

Instructions

  • Place steak, and marinade in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Set aside. Ideally you want steak to marinade 15-20 minutes.
  • In the meantime whisk together garlic sauce and set aside.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over medium and add 1 tablespoons of coconut oil to pan and swirl to coat. Place sirloin in one single layer in skillet and don't stir. Cook sirloin for about 1-2 minutes until bottom side is brown. Turn, using tongs, and cook until brown on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer sirloin to a clean bowl.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to skillet, when melted add broccoli and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously for about 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of water and quickly cover skillet with lid. Leave lid on skillet for about 30 seconds. Remove lid, and let cook, stirring continuously, until all of the water has evaporated, about 2-3 minutes
  • Add sirloin slices and any juices and garlic sauce to pan. Toss until sauce begins to thicken and ingredients are well coated.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately.
