LOW FODMAP BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Classic Chinese style better-than-takeout Beef and Broccoli but LOW FODMAP! No onions or garlic in this one but don’t worry, I promise it’s still super flavourful you won’t even notice they’re missing!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 head Broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 pound Steak of Choice*
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Infused Oil homemade or store bought
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger minced
  • ¼ cup Green Onion chopped, green parts only
  • 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Sriracha
  • Juice and Zest of 1 Lime
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • ½ tbsp Sesame Seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk the lime juice and zest, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil until well combined.

  • Slice the steak into thin strips or chunks...depends on preference here, really, but I recommend all even slices however thin you choose to go!

  • Throw the pieces in with the sauce mixture and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

  • Chop the broccoli into small florets and bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broc, making sure each piece is submerged in the water and let stand, over the heat, for 2 minutes. Drain.

  • Add the garlic oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced ginger and green onion and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the steak pieces in a single layer and leave 'em to brown for a few minutes then turn them over and do the same. You may need to lower the heat a bit as you don't want the steak to burn but once both sides are browned, you may begin to stir the meat until all is cooked through. The whole thing shouldn't take more than 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli to the beef and season with salt and pepper. If you feel like you need more sauce to coat the broccoli than what is already left in the pan, feel free to add a few more splashes of lime juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

  • Reduce the heat to low and cook until broccoli is heated through. Garnish with sesame seeds, green parts of the green onion and serve with rice or noodles...or anything, really.

Notes

For the steak, I used strip loin but anything works!
