Ingredients

  • 1.5 -2 lb. Flank Steak
  • 2 tsp. Sesame Oil
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion sliced thin
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh Ginger minced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 sp. Arrowroot Powder
  • 1 Spaghetti Squash

Instructions

  • Roast or microwave your spaghetti squash to start. See blog post for more in-depth details. I recommend microwaving because it takes about 15 minutes and can be done while finishing your food prep and cooking your stir fry.
  • Slice your flank steak into 1/4 inch thin pieces, cut against the grain. Place in a large mixing bowl and toss in the arrowroot powder.
  • Prep your broccoli florets, slice your onion, and mince the garlic and ginger and set everything aside.
  • Preheat a large skillet (cast iron preferred) on higher heat. Add 2 tsp. sesame oil to the pan and let it heat up. Sear half the steak and stir after a minute. Remove from the pan and repeat this process again. Cooking in batches reduces steaming the meat and promotes searing.
  • Mix all the meat back into the pan, add half the ginger, garlic, and coconut aminos. Mix for about a minute and remove the beef and set it aside in a bowl.
  • Add in your broccoli, onion, and remaining ginger, garlic, and coconut aminos. Stir the browned bits of steak off the bottom of the pan and let the broccoli mixture cook about 3-4 minutes until tender. Mix the beef back in and sauté until the liquid thickens a bit (about 3-4 more minutes max).
  • Remove from the heat and serve over the spaghetti squash or serve inside and stuff the spaghetti squash if preferred.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds, green onion, and red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

If you feel like your spaghetti squash looks really watery, place it in a strainer and push down with a spoon or spatula to remove and squeeze out some of the liquid before using as a noodle substitute.
