Ingredients

12 ounces beef steak, very thinly sliced

4 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon coconut oil

3/4 cup low fat chicken broth

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons mirin

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons Asian Chili sauce

2 cups brown rice, cooked

Preparation

Combine chicken broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Mirin, sesame oil, sugar and Asian chili sauce in a small bowl.

Preheat non-skillet over medium high heat with 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil. Add beef and stir fry until beef is cooked through, 3 – 4 minutes. Remove from pan.

Add remaining coconut oil and saute broccoli for 3 – 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add chicken broth or water as needed to keep pan from becoming too dry.

Add beef and sauce into the pan with the broccoli and stir until sauce thickens, 4 – 5 minutes.

Serve over rice.
