Ingredients

12 oz Broccoli Florets cut into bite-size pieces
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 bags (10 oz each) Frozen Steamed Jasmine Rice or 4 cups cooked rice
Green Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds for serving

For the Black Pepper Beef

1 pound Beef Shaved Steak
2 Tablespoons Coconut Aminos or low sodium soy sauce
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar or Chinese black vinegar
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoons White Miso Paste
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
4 Frozen Crushed Garlic Cubes or 4 cloves fresh garlic
2 Frozen Crushed Ginger Cubes or 2 teaspoons minced ginger

Instructions

Prepare the beef. Mix the sauce ingredients together before adding the beef. (I like to use kitchen scissors or a knife to make sure the beef is cut into bite-size pieces.) Stir together, cover, and set aside.
Cook the broccoli. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli and stir to coat in the oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli looks charred in spots and is tender crisp. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Cook the beef. Add the beef to the pan and spread out in an even layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, mostly untouched, until no liquid remains and the beef begins to brown and caramelize on the bottom. Stir the beef around and make sure it’s fully cooked before turning off the heat and adding the broccoli back to the pan.
Serve. Toss the cooked beef and broccoli together before serving over rice and garnishing with sliced green onion, toasted sesame seeds, and your choice of sauce, if desired.

Notes

I used Trader Joe's Beef Shaved Steak. It has 170 calories, 22g of protein, and 7g of fat per 4-oz serving. If you can't find a lean shaved steak option, you can try partially freezing a lean cut of beef and thinly slicing it yourself. You can also use extra lean ground beef instead, browning the ground beef before adding the sauce.
