We happen to be blessed enough where we often get together with our extended family to eat a nice meal together.  When these times call, we usually end up eating Chinese food and ordering ‘the usual’ from the menu, one of which is Beef & Broccoli. 

Now, anywhere you go Beef & Broccoli tastes the same but at this particular restaurant, it was different, a good different!  It was a little sweet, a little peppery, and had some kind of complex sauce that I knew I’ve had before but quite couldn’t nail down. 

Around halfway through our meal, it came to me – it tasted like yakisoba sauce!  It wasn’t exactly yakisoba sauce, but shared enough similar characteristics that I knew this would make a good fusion! 

So later in the week, I hit the test kitchen with this vision in mind and out came a dish we coined Sweet Japanese BBQ Beef n’ Broccoli!

It came out just as good as the version we had at the restaurant but we, of course, keto-fied it!  Hope you enjoy!

This dish would probably be boarder line keto at ~6g carbs per serving but definitely filling enough to be the main course. 

The recipe takes your traditional Beef & Broccoli and transforms it to a Japanese BBQ profile packed with sweet sour Worcestershire flavor bursting with tangy umami!

The special ingredients needed for this recipe are Toasted Sesame Seed (optional), Bonito Flakes (optional), Swerve/Monkfruit, Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce (you can skip this if you are strict keto), Sugar-Free Ketchup, Xanthan Gum and White Pepper.   All these can be picked up on Amazon or a local Asian Supermarket.

Now, let’s get started!

Ingredients

Steak

• 3/4 lb Round Steak

• 1 Cup Broccoli
• 1 tbsp Neutral Cooking Oil (oil with no taste)
• 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seed (optional topping)
• 1 tbsp Bonito Flakes (optional topping)

• 2 tbsp Swerve/Monkfruit
• 1 tsp Soy Sauce

Instructions

• Gather all the ingredients.

• Pat down the round steak with a paper towel then slice steaks into 1/4 inch thick strips, sprinkle salt and set aside.
• Wash, cut broccoli into bite size pieces and set aside.
• In a large frying pan, add cooking oil and bring up to temperature over high heat. Once oil starts to lightly smoke, carefully add broccoli, stir well and cook for 1 minute. Once 1 minute has passed, remove broccoli and set on a holding plate.
