Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cup white rice
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil split into 4 tbsp and 2 tbsp servings
6 cup broccoli florets
2 lb flank steak sliced thin (¼ inch thick x 1 inch long slices)
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Stir Fry Sauce

6 tbsp coconut aminos
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 cup hot water
3 tsp cornstarch
4 clove garlic minced
1 tsp ginger minced
1 tsp crushed red pepper

Instructions

Cook the rice. Cook time will vary based on the rice you're using - follow the instructions. Once rice is cooked, remove from heat and set aside. Fluff with a fork, and keep covered with a lid to prevent drying.
Make the stir fry sauce. Combine all the ingredients for the stir fry in a medium bowl. Whisk until all the brown sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Heat the 4 tbsp of olive oil in a wok. Add the broccoli and toss until the broccoli is fully coated in the olive oil. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is softened a bit. If you like your broccoli a bit crisper, leave the cover off. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and cover.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same wok. When heated, add the strips of flank and season with salt & pepper (work in batches if you need to). Cook until meat is slightly browned.
Add all the cooked steak to the wok and add in your stir fry sauce. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, drop the heat to a simmer and add your cooked broccoli. Toss the broccoli in the wok for about a minute until it's fully coated with the sauce.
Turn off the burner and add the cooked rice to the wok. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Let the stir fry sit with the burner off for about 2-3 minutes, mixing everything occasionally. This will allow the sauce to thicken a bit.
Serve hot and top with the sesame seeds.

Notes

One serving size = about a cup of stir fry.
Freeze the steak before slicing so it's easy to get it thinly sliced. DON'T FORGET TO CUT AGAINST THE GRAIN.
