Directions

Step 1: To make the sauce: in a small bowl whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and chilli powder if using and set aside.

Step 2: Toss sliced beef in a large bowl with corn starch or arrowroot powder.

Step 3: Heat 1 tbs avocado oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced beef and cook until it browns. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 4: Add remaining 1 Tbs of avocado oil to the pan and sauté onions, garlic and ginger for a few minutes until softened. Then stir in carrots. Once carrots are slightly cooked add in the sauce mixture.

Step 5: Add the reserved beef to the skillet and stir. Add in the broccoli and let simmer for 5 minutes or so until the sauce thickens a bit.

Serve over rice and garnish with thinly sliced green onion!
