Asian Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

• 3.5 ounces (grass-fed) beef round steak, cut into thin strips
• 3.5 ounces broccoli
• 3 tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos
• 1-2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 dropper full of SweetLeaf Stevia Clear Sweet Drops
• 1/8 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 1 cup (approximately) beef stock
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Toasted Sesame Ginger Seasoning (found on StaceyHawkins.com)
• Chives for taste

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine the Bragg's Liquid Aminos, lemon juice, clear stevia, and Xanthan gum. Set aside.
2. Give your pan a quick spray of Smart Balance cooking spray.
3. Heat beef stock in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry ginger and garlic for 30 seconds.
4. Add the steak and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until evenly browned.
5. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes.
6. Add in the liquid mixture and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly.
7. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth.
8. Top with toasted sesame ginger spice and serve immediately.

1. Over medium-high heat saute half of the garlic and ginger in Smart balance for 1 minute, keep adding a little beef broth as needed to keep from burning.
2. Toss in broccoli, lemon juice, and a little more broth.  Saute until broccoli is bright green, about 3-4 minutes, adding broth as necessary.  Remove from pan and put aside, keeping warm
3. Over medium-high heat saute the rest of the garlic and ginger in Smart balance for 1 minute, add a little beef broth as needed to keep from burning.
4. Add in the beef, Bragg's, and more beef broth, sauteing to your desire temperature (if you are making more than one serving, consider cooking the meat a little less, so you are not overcooking it when reheating). 3-4 minutes is about medium to medium-well depending on how thin your steak is sliced.
5. When beef is almost done, add about a 1/2 cup more broth, stevia, xanthan gum, and toasted sesame ginger spice.  Let simmer for a few minutes until sauce thickens, toss in broccoli mixture for about 30 seconds, plate and top with chives and more Toasted sesame ginger spice if desired.
