Sweet and Spicy Ginger Beef and Broccoli

This has quickly become one of my weekly go to meals because it tastes like such a treat! It really does satisfy and taste like it came out of one of those cute, white cardboard foldup boxes. Don't have or like steak? This works perfectly with chicken as well or with just the veggies but with slivered almonds added for some protein and fat for a vegan option. 

Ingredients:

1 big round sirloin steak or 3 chicken breast, sliced very thin and small

1/2 of an onion, diced small

2 colored peppers, diced small

1 head of broccoli, diced small

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 tsp minced garlic or powder

1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes unless you love spice, then do 1/2 tsp

1 TBPS of ground ginger 

2 TBSP sesame oil
3 TBSP of Pyure stevia blend

sesame seeds 

Sauté the onion in oil for a few minutes and then add the meat, season with salt, pepper, garlic. Sauté for another few minutes. Add the veggies, season again with salt, pepper and garlic and stir. Seasoning each layer of any meal you are making makes a big difference in flavor. Make a small well in the center, add a drizzle of oil and then add the red pepper flakes and ginger to sauté there for just a few seconds, this will bloom the spices to bring out all of their flavor. Stir. Add the sesame oil and stir to combine and finish cooking the meat through. Taste to make sure it's to your liking of sweetness, zing and flavor. Because of varying ingredients, I usually always have to add a bit more salt, sweetener and sesame oil. 

Finish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and even slivered almonds if desired. Enjoy!

This is the sweetener that I use available at Walmart or Amazon. It's organic and non gmo. I have found it to have the best flavor for replacing sugar.
