  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Steak Marinade:
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo)
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or any hot chili sauce)
  • For the Skillet:
  • 1 ½ lb (650g) sirloin steak, sliced against the grain
  • 2 broccoli heads, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ¼ cup (60ml) low-sodium beef broth
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, and Sriracha sauce in a shallow bowl. Add the steak strips to the marinade and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the Broccoli: While the steak marinates, break the broccoli into florets. Blanch the florets in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Cook the Steak: Bring the marinated steak to room temperature. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak strips in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, until crispy and browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, beef broth, and reserved marinade juices. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the fresh parsley and broccoli florets. Toss regularly until the sauce has reduced and the broccoli is cooked to your liking.
  5. Finish the Dish: Add the steak strips back into the skillet and toss to reheat quickly. Serve immediately with fresh thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, extra parsley, and lemon slices.

Notes

  • You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less Sriracha to the marinade.
  • If you prefer, substitute the sirloin steak with flank steak or another cut of your choice.
  • Serve this dish with rice, quinoa, or a side salad for a complete meal.
