Why this Flat Iron Steak Stir-Fry is a Must-Try ?
This Flat Iron Steak Stir-Fry isn’t your average stir-fry. What sets it apart? The secret lies in the marination process, infusing the steak with coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and garlic. It’s then cooked to perfection, maintaining its juiciness and capturing the essence of the marinade. Along with the fresh broccoli, which adds a delightful crunch and a host of nutrients, you get a balanced, flavorful meal that is as nourishing as it is delicious.
Ingredients:
- 450 grams (1 lb) of Flat Iron steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 225 grams (1/2 lb) of fresh Broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) of Coconut Oil
- 5 mL (1 tsp) of Toasted Sesame Oil
- 5 mL (1 tsp) of Fish Sauce
For the Marinade:
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) of Coconut Aminos
- 5 mL (1 tsp) of freshly grated Root ginger
- 2 cloves of Garlic, finely chopped
How to Make the Perfect Flat Iron Steak Stir-Fry ?
Begin by slicing your Flat Iron Steak into ultra-thin strips.
Place the sliced steak into a bag with the coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and chopped garlic to marinate. Let it sit for 1 hour in the fridge.
Once marinated, drain the beef but keep the marinade for later; it’ll be our stir-fry sauce.
Briefly blanch the broccoli in boiling water for two minutes, then thoroughly drain.
Heat oil in a large wok or cast-iron skillet, then stir-fry the beef until it’s nicely browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.
Stir-fry the broccoli until it’s crisp-tender, around 3 minutes. Add the remaining marinade and cook for an additional two minutes.
Add the cooked beef back into the pan, stir in the fish sauce and toasted sesame oil, and serve hot.
Notes:
The Flat Iron Steak Stir-Fry with Fresh Broccoli can be served with a side of steamed rice or noodles. Feel free to substitute coconut oil with olive oil, but keep in mind that it may slightly alter the flavor.
So, there you have it! A delicious, easy, and hearty meal that your family will love. The Juicy Flat Iron Steak Stir-Fry with Fresh Broccoli is not just a dish, it’s a culinary journey that leaves you wanting more.
