Ingredients

1 lb. flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
3 Tbsp. oil avocado or olive, divided
2 bell peppers red or green, thinly sliced
½ white onion thinly sliced
1 head broccoli cut into florets
⅓ cup soy sauce or Tamari
2 Tbsp. brown sugar white or coconut sugar
1 tsp. ginger paste
2 cloves garlic finely minced
⅔ cup chicken broth regular sodium, divided
1-2 tsp. Sriracha sauce to taste
2 tsp. sesame oil toasted
2 Tbsp. cornstarch

For Serving:

Toasted sesame seeds optional
Green onions sliced, optional
Rice or cauliflower rice optional

Instructions

Add 2 tablespoons of oil and the sliced flank steak to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook flank steak for 6-8 minutes, flipping over halfway through, or until it is no longer pink. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside on a large plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook the bell peppers, onion, and broccoli over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, ⅓ cup broth, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Add the steak and the sauce to the skillet with the vegetables, reduce the heat to medium, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk together the remaining ⅓ cup of warm broth and 2 tablespoons of starch. Mix in the slurry water to the skillet, continuing to cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes until the sauce has thickened up.
Serve beef and broccoli stir-fry over rice with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

- How to prep ahead of time: You can easily cut the veggies a day or two ahead of time. Simply store them in a Ziploc bag. Mix up the sauce the day before if needed, too.

- How to store: Keep leftover beef stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

- How to freeze: You can freeze this stir-fry beef recipe, but the veggies might get mushy. Be sure as little air touches the food in a freezer-bag or airtight container as possible.

- How to reheat: For the best results, warm the stir-fry back up in a skillet over medium heat.
