Beef and Broccoli the Keto WOE

Every so often, you get a hankering for something that gets your mouth watering.  Although I didn't include it in the recipe, I have used Kitchen Bouquet to darken the liquid.  I also used Zantham Gum to thicken the broth.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs thin cut beef round steak, sliced into thin strips

1/4 cup beef stock

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

4 cloves garlic, minced

6 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 lb broccoli florets

3 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Slice the steak into thin strips - about 1/4 inch thick

In a large mixing bowl, beef stock, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic.

Add the steak to the bowl and mix until all pieces are coated. Set aside. Let marinate for an hour. Longer if time allows.

While the meat is marinating, clean and trim the broccoli and slice the mushrooms.

Heat a wok or a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan.

Once the pan is very hot, add the broccoli, coating it in the oil and stir frying for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the beef from the marinade and add to the hot pan. 

Stir fry 2-3 minutes.

Pour the sauce in the pan and add the mushrooms.

Continue stir frying over high heat until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced and thickened. This will happen naturally with high heat and continuous stirring.

If you lose too much of your sauce in the process, add a little extra beef stock to the pan.

As you can see by the video, I didn't exactly follow the directions.  But in my opinion, that's what cooking is about.  You get the basic ingredients, but then make it your way.

Comments and suggestions and ALWAYS welcome.
