Keto Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli Recipe

Keto beef stir-fry with broccoli delivers bold Chinese-American takeout flavors in a fast, low-carb weeknight dinner. Thinly sliced flank steak and crisp broccoli florets are tossed in a savory garlic ginger sauce made with coconut aminos instead of sugary teriyaki. With just 10g net carbs per serving and 30g of protein, this 20-minute keto stir-fry beats takeout every time.

Ingredients

Beef and Vegetables

• 500g flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 4 cups (350g) broccoli florets
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Stir-Fry Sauce

• 4 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp chili garlic sauce (or sriracha)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp arrowroot powder (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Freeze steak for 20 minutes for easier slicing, then slice thinly against the grain.
2. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking.
4. Add beef in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes without moving, then stir-fry for 1 more minute until browned. Remove from pan.
5. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the wok. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
6. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Return beef to the pan. Pour sauce over everything.
8. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce coats and slightly thickens.
9. Serve topped with green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips & Variations

• High heat and quick cooking are the keys to a good stir-fry. Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Blanch broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes first, then ice-bath it, for a more vibrant color and tender-crisp texture.
• Add sliced shiitake mushrooms or snap peas (adds minimal carbs) for more variety.
• For a spicier version, increase chili garlic sauce to 1 tbsp.
• Substitute flank steak with chicken thigh strips or shrimp for variation.
