Keto Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1.In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and water. If using xanthan gum, whisk it in slowly to avoid clumps. Set the sauce aside.

2.Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and a splash of water; cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green. Remove broccoli from the pan and set aside.

3.Wipe the skillet dry and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

4.Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

5.Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and stir well to coat. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

6.Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss everything together for another minute to ensure the vegetables are heated through and coated in sauce.

7.Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.
