Ingredients


Beef and Broccoli

1 ½ pounds sirloin steak, thinly sliced (or boneless, skinless chicken thighs not sliced) (680 g)
2 tablespoons plus ¼ cup Primal Kitchen® Avocado Oil (divided) (15 ml + 60 ml)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (15 ml)
1/3 cup coconut aminos (80 ml)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 large heads broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets
Sesame-Peanut Sauce

1 tablespoon tahini (15 ml) https://www.marksdailyapple.com/my-16-favorite-fat-sources-plus-my-latest-big-ass-salad/
1/4 cup unsalted, unsweetened peanut butter (60 g)
3 tablespoons coconut aminos (45 ml)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (15 ml)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated (2.5 cm)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon warm water (15 ml)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 ºF/218 ºC.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons avocado oil, plus rice vinegar, coconut aminos, and garlic. Pour over steak (or chicken). Let marinate while preparing the rest of the recipe (or marinate several hours, if there’s time).

Lightly coat the broccoli with the remaining ¼ cup avocado oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread into an even layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, until broccoli is tender and deeply browned around the edges.

If using chicken, place the chicken thighs on a separate rimmed baking sheet, or in a 9-inch baking dish. Roast 25 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165 ºF.

To make the sesame-peanut sauce, whisk together tahini, peanut butter, coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic and water until smooth (for a thinner sauce, add more water or coconut milk). Set aside.

To cook the steak, first remove the meat from the marinade. Heat a wok or wide skillet with a drizzle of oil. When the oil is hot, add the meat in small batches, browning 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

Toss together the cooked meat and roasted broccoli. Drizzle sesame-peanut sauce on top. Enjoy!

Pressure cooker the stew meat for 6 minutes.
