Cooking tip: Stir fry is a perfect cooking technique for busy weeknights, and fits perfectly with a vegetable rich low carb or keto diet. Using a wok helps ensure variable heat levels that make quick work of cooking. The center bottom will have the highest heat, while the walls of the wok will get cooler the further away from the center. This allows you to move more cooked pieces up the walls so every part of the dish is perfectly cooked. But have no fear if you don’t have a wok! A large skillet can be used as a replacement. No matter what pot you use, be sure to stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup no sugar added creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup water, divided
- 4 teaspoons brown style Swerve sweetener
- 4 teaspoons tamari soy sauce, divided
- 2 teaspoons natural rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 12 ounces raw top sirloin beef steak
- 3 cups (273g) fresh broccoli
- 1 cup (92g) sliced fresh red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced or pressed garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 ounce dry roasted peanuts
Directions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, ¼ cup water, sweetener, 2 teaspoons tamari and rice vinegar. Set aside
- In a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and thinly sliced beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the pink is gone, about 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons tamari and toss with the beef, continuing to cook until liquid is evaporated and beef is done, another 1-2 minutes. Remove cooked meat to a plate.
- Reduce heat under the wok to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add 1-inch pieces of broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until broccoli is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add sliced red bell peppers, ¼ cup water, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat the vegetables, and cook stirring frequently, until bell pepper is tender and liquid has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
- Remove wok from heat, add back in steak and any accumulated juices, and toss with peanut sauce until evenly coated. Garnish with cilantro leaves and peanuts. One serving is one rounded cup of beef and vegetables.
