This paleo Mongolian beef & broccoli stir-fry delivers an indulgent, takeout-inspired flavor while staying grain-free and loaded with protein.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pat steak slices dry and toss with 2 tbsp arrowroot starch and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, half the minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Sear half the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and repeat with remaining steak. Set steak aside.
Add another 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan. Stir-fry broccoli and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until just crisp-tender. Add whites of green onions and cook 1 more minute.
Return steak (with juices) to pan. Pour in coconut amino mixture and toss everything to coat. Stir-fry until sauce thickens and steak is glossy, 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/2 tbsp oil in another pan over medium-high. Add remaining garlic and sauté until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add riced cauliflower and salt. Cook, stirring, until cauliflower is tender and lightly toasted, 4-5 minutes.
Serve beef & broccoli stir-fry over garlic-cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onion tops, cilantro, and (if using) a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve with lime wedges.
