Method

1. Whisk the coconut aminos, water or broth, arrowroot, lime juice, garlic, and ginger.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the beef, salt, and pepper and sear for 2–3 minutes, until browned outside, then lift out.
3. Add the broccoli and 2 tbsp water, cover, and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
4. Return the beef, pour in the sauce, and toss for 1–2 minutes, until glossy.
5. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve warm.
