Marinade

  • ¼ cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce/tamari)
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot, potato, tapioca, or corn starch
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce/tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or avocado/olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic (or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger (or ¼ teaspoon ginger powder)
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot, potato, tapioca, or corn starch (optional for thickening)
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce (optional)

For Serving

  • 4 scallions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. Marinate Beef: In a shallow dish, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add the sliced beef, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  3. Prep Sauce and Broccoli: In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients. On a large rimmed sheet pan, add the broccoli, pour the sauce over it, toss to coat, and arrange in a single layer.
  4. Add Beef: Using tongs, add the marinated beef to the sheet pan with the broccoli, leaving room between pieces to avoid crowding (use two sheet pans if necessary).
  5. Bake: Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the steak is cooked to your liking and the broccoli is tender. Optionally, broil on high for 2 minutes to lightly char the edges.
  6. Serve: Garnish with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice.
