Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 cups broccoli, florets
- 1/2 cup carrot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup onion, sliced
- 6 ounces beef, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon guar gum
- 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a 10″ skillet or wok, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. |
| 2 | Add the prepared broccoli, carrot, and onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring quickly and frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, and the onions are lightly browned. This should take about 3-4 minutes. |
| 3 | Stir in the thinly sliced beef strips and cook them to your desired doneness. This typically takes another 2-3 minutes. |
| 4 | In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, low sodium soy sauce, guar gum, cornstarch, Splenda sugar substitute, and salt. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch completely. |
| 5 | Add the sauce mixture to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir everything together and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. |
| 6 | Once the sauce has thickened and everything is well-coated, remove the skillet from the heat. |
| 7 | Serve your Low Carb Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal. Enjoy! 🍽️🥢 |
