15 Minute Beef and Broccoli

1 package HRB fajita meat, steak, or stew meat

½ cup beef broth

½ cup soy sauce

⅓ cup sweetener of choice such as sugar or stevia

1 tbs oil

1 tsp minced garlic

2 tbs cornstarch

2 tbs water

3 cups broccoli florets

1 ½ cups brown rice

1 tbs toasted sesame seeds (optional)

1. Cook the rice (or cauliflower rice) according to package directions.

2. Steam fresh broccoli in the microwave with 2 cups of water in a covered glass bowl (or in a pot with cover until just tender), then drain excess water. If using frozen, cook per package instructions.

3. In a mason jar or small bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, sweetener, oil, and garlic.

4. Whisk cornstarch with 2 tbs water to make a slurry and add it to the sauce.

5. Cut steak into strips.

6. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Spray pan with cooking spray, add the steak, and sauté for 1-2 minutes on each side (or until just browned on the outside).

7. Remove from pan and set aside.

8. Pour sauce mixture into the pan. Cook over medium-high heat, allowing sauce to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or until sauce thickens.

9. Add steak and broccoli to the pan with the sauce, and stir to toss everything together.

10. To serve, place 3/4 cup rice on a plate and top with one portion of the broccoli and beef. Drizzle with any leftover sauce from the pan, add finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
