Tips

Beef Slicing: Slice beef very thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Partially freezing for 30 minutes makes slicing easier.

High Heat Essential: The wok or pan should be very hot to achieve proper stir-fry texture. You want to hear aggressive sizzling when ingredients hit the pan.

Don't Overcrowd: Cook beef in batches if necessary to avoid steaming. Overcrowding lowers the temperature and creates tough, chewy meat.

Broccoli Texture: Cook broccoli just until bright green and tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli becomes mushy and loses its appeal.

Sauce Timing: Add coconut aminos at the very end to prevent burning and to maintain its fresh flavor.

Oil Choice: Avocado oil has a high smoke point perfect for high-heat stir-frying. Don't use olive oil which will burn at these temperatures.

Carb Count: Approximately 5g net carbs per serving, making this perfect for ketogenic eating.

Serving Ideas: Serve over cauliflower rice, shirataki noodles, or zucchini noodles for a complete keto meal.
