Step-by-step

  • Preheat slow cooker to low.
  • Slice flank steak into 1-2" chunks.
  • In slow cooker, add steak, aminos, beef broth, sweetener, ginger, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and salt.
  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
  • Prepare broccoli and red bell pepper. Chop broccoli into florets, and slice red bell pepper into large 1" pieces.
  • After the steak has cooked, stir.
  • Add in the broccoli and red bell pepper on top for at least another hour until your desired crispness, then toss together.
  • To thicken your sauce, you can make an arrowroot slurry. Mix 1 tbsp arrowroot flour with 2 tbsp cold water (like you would cornstarch) and add to the beef mixture after it's done cooking (not before). If you want it even thicker, do it again until you reach your desired consistency. Arrowroot flour is a common paleo-friendly thickener and it's 1 carb per tablespoon. Xanthan Gum also works well.
  • Serve alone, or over riced cauliflower (tastes great with the sauce!)
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish and serve!

The sauce is incredibly flavorful, and the cauliflower rice soaks it up beautifully, making it even more satisfying. The recipe also allows for customization based on your preferences.
