3 tbs your sweetener of choice. I like Steviva Blend.
1 tsp, freshly grated fresh ginger
3 minced garlic cloves
1/4 – 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt (adjust to your liking — you may need more later depending on what “soy sauce” product you end up using, regular, Braggs, coconut aminos, or tamari are all fine – simply count your own carbs)
1 head of broccoli
1 cored and chopped red bell pepper
Garnish with:
sesame seeds
chopped scallions
Instructions
Preheat slow cooker to low.
Slice flank steak into 1-2″ chunks.
In slow cooker, add steak, aminos, beef broth, sweetener, ginger, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
Prepare broccoli and red bell pepper. Chop broccoli into florets, and slice red bell pepper into large 1″ pieces.
After the steak has cooked, stir.
Add in the broccoli and red bell pepper on top for at least another hour until your desired crispness, then toss together.
To thicken your sauce, you can make an arrowroot slurry. Mix 1 tbsp arrowroot flour with 2 tbsp cold water (like you would cornstarch) and add to the beef mixture after it’s done cooking (not before). If you want it even thicker, do it again until you reach your desired consistency. Arrowroot flour is a common paleo-friendly thickener and it’s 1 carb per tablespoon. Xanthan Gum also works well.
Serve alone, or over riced cauliflower (tastes great with the sauce!)
