Ingredients

• 1.5 pound top sirloin steak (trimmed and sliced thin against the grain)
• 4 cup broccoli florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 red bell pepper (medium, seeded and thinly sliced)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
• 0.33 cup gluten-free tamari
• 0.5 cup beef broth (low-sodium, gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (toasted)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 cup riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
• 2 whole green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free tamari, beef broth, cornstarch, minced garlic, and minced ginger until smooth.
2. Season the sliced top sirloin steak evenly with the black pepper.
3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin strips in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned on the outside; transfer the beef to a plate.
4. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet along with the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce bubbles and thickens into a glossy glaze coating the beef and vegetables.
6. In a separate microwave-safe bowl or skillet, steam the riced cauliflower for 3 minutes until tender. Divide the riced cauliflower among 4 plates, top with the beef and vegetable stir-fry, and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Slicing the steak against the grain while partially chilled makes thin, tender strips easy to cut.
