The recipe specifically calls for frozen broccoli, as it requires no pre-steaming. It softens a bit as it thaws, making it the perfect texture for a quick low carb stir fry.

Loading...Keto Sesame Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients
- ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum or glucomannan, to thicken*
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 lb top sirloin, thinly sliced
- 12 ounces frozen broccoli, thawed
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic. Sprinkle with the xanthan gum or glucomannan and whisk to combine well.
- In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the beef, and saute until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the thawed broccoli and cook a few minutes to warm through.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli, and cook another minute until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
- *Note: glucomannan dissolves more easily without clumping. If you use xanthan gum and it clumps, try blending it in a blender.

Very good – a bit hot!
One point with the Xanthan gum – if you start by mixing it with oil – in this case the sesame oil – it will not clump!
This was delicious and so quick!
