Ingredients
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 lb. beef steak
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ cup sugar snap peas
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari sauce
- 1 Tbs. toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbs. minced garlic
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp. tapioca flour
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- 1 Tbs. sesame seeds
Preparation
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat beef dry and season all over with salt and pepper to taste. Add beef to hot pan, and brown 3–4 minutes per side. Remove beef, and set aside, reserving grease in skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, and cook 3–4 minutes, until translucent. Add broccoli florets, and cook 3–4 minutes more, until brown. Add sugar snap peas, and cook 1–2 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, in small mixing bowl, whisk together tamari, sesame oil, minced garlic, beef broth, and tapioca flour until dissolved. Add sauce to skillet, stirring to coat vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cut steak into small pieces, about 1-inch square, and return to pan with vegetables. Simmer 5–7 minutes, until beef is cooked to desired doneness. Divide steak and veggies among 4 individual bowls.
