From Half Baked Harvest: Every Day by Tieghan Gerard “The classic version of this dish usually consists of a soy-based sauce sweetened with brown sugar. I’m pretty sure it’s the delicious sauce that keeps me (and everyone else) coming back for more, but I use a less-sugary-than-usual version.”

Make Beef

Step 3

In medium bowl, combine steak with arrowroot powder. Toss to coat.

Step 4

Heat 2 tbsp of avocado oil in large cast-iron skillet over high heat. When oil shimmers, working in batches, add steak and cook until browned, 2 minutes per side. Transfer steak to plate.

Step 5

To same skillet over high heat, add 1 tbsp of avocado oil and broccolini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer broccolini to plate with steak.

Step 6

Reduce heat under skillet to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp of avocado oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1⁄4 cup of water, soy sauce and honey. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Return steak and broccolini to pan, tossing to coat in sauce. Cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in green onions.

Step 7

To serve, spoon beef and broccolini over rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and more green onion.
