The dish has three main layers: bright orange carrot slices that are thin and smooth, lightly browned green broccoli florets with a slightly rough texture, and medium-sized chunks of cooked brown beef with grill marks creating a slightly rough surface. The stir-fry is topped with a sprinkling of white and black sesame seeds.

Ingredients

1 lb flank steak or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil

Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped

2 crisp carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
Homemade Stir-Fry Sauce:

1/4 cup Bragg’s liquid aminos, low sodium soy sauce, or coconut aminos
1 Tbsp raw honey
2 cloves fresh garlic, grated

1″ fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients until well combined.
Step 2: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4: Pour the stir-fry sauce over the meat and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
Step 5: Serve immediately over brown rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.

Tips & Variations

Try swapping the beef for chicken, shrimp, or turkey for a different protein option using the same sauce.

For extra crunch, add snap peas or bell peppers alongside the broccoli and carrots.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the chili flakes or add a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
Marinate the beef in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking to deepen the flavor.

Storage

Store leftover stir fry in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet or microwave until hot. You can also freeze the stir fry for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating for best results.

How to Serve

A clear rectangular glass container is filled with a colorful stir-fry mix, the base layer made of large chunks of cooked beef pieces that are brown and juicy, scattered evenly throughout. Mixed in between the beef are slices of bright orange carrots, thin and slightly curved, along with small green broccoli florets that have touches of golden brown from cooking. The whole dish is sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds, adding texture and small touches of contrast on top. The container sits on a white marbled surface with two other glass containers partially visible in the background, holding different vegetable and chicken stir-fries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other cuts of beef for this stir fry?

Yes, tender cuts like flank steak, sirloin, or even ribeye work best as they cook quickly and stay tender. Avoid tougher cuts that require long cooking times.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

It can be gluten-free if you use coconut aminos or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative instead of regular soy sauce or liquid aminos that contain gluten. Always check your ingredient labels to be certain.
