Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz (397 g) grass-fed sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into thin strips
  • ½ tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, divided
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 cups (720 ml) broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • For easier slicing, place the sirloin steak in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before cutting. This firms up the meat, allowing you to get super thin, even strips.
  • Control the heat by adjusting the serrano pepper. For less spice, remove all seeds and membranes. For more heat, leave some seeds in or swap for a hotter pepper.
  • To ensure your broccoli is perfectly crisp-tender, add 1-2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of water to the skillet after adding the florets and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes to steam them slightly.
  • This stir-fry is fantastic served over fluffy jasmine rice, quinoa, or even low-carb cauliflower rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.
