Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry is a gluten-free and keto-friendly dinner made with sirloin steak, loads of fresh broccoli, garlic, ginger and sautéed in Armour Premium All-Natural Lard.

Armour Premium All-Natural Lard

Zero Trans Fat | Gluten Free | Lowers LDL Cholesterol

Let’s be honest- lard isn’t the prettiest word! However, considering lard is one of the healthiest cooking fats and incredibly versatile in the kitchen, lard should be viewed as a beautiful thing. Armour Premium All-Natural Lard has heart healthy monounsaturated fats which may lower LDL cholesterol, less saturated fat than butter and no trans fat. Bonus that Armour Premium All-Natural Lard is natural, sustainable and so simple to use. Perfect for baking, sautéing or frying! It is time we change our view on lard and bring Armour Premium All-Natural Lard into our healthy eating plans.

I found my Armour Premium All-Natural Lard in the baking aisle at my local Walmart during my weekly grocery trip where I also picked up all the ingredients needed for the beef and broccoli stir-fry.

Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry is quick and simple to make. You can have this meal on the table in less than 30 minutes and that includes the marinade time! Stir-fry is one of my favorite meals to make for the family because it never gets complaints from the children and fills everyone up. Normally with stir-fry, the steak would be dunked into cornstarch and flour before it gets sautéed but we are doing things a little different today to keep it gluten-free and keto-friendly. Forget the cornstarch step! We will be using almond flour in later steps to thicken up our sauce.

Begin by cutting your sirloin into 1/4 inch thick slices and prepare the marinade. Thin slices that follow the grain of the meat are ideal for a stir-fry.

Your marinade consists of low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic and lot’s of grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients together and add in the sliced steak. Make sure to mix everything together well so the marinade covers all the steak and let it sit for about 15 minutes to soak in those flavors.

While the steak is marinating, chop your broccoli. I buy two bunches and chop about six cups worth- that seems like a lot but it is going to be just the right amount. Broccoli is one of the best foods you can put in your body supplying you with vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, fiber folate and so much more.

Also, begin your side dish. Rice is gluten-free and filling so that is always a great option for stir-fry. If you are really watching those carbs on the keto diet, make some cauliflower rice.

Prepare your sauce. Combine almond flour, a bit of soy sauce and beef broth. Stir and set to the side. Almond flour is a good option for this stir-fry because it is gluten-free, easily accessible and high in protein. Plus, the almond flour is going to help thicken up our dish.

Get your pan warmed up on a high heat. Drop in a tablespoon of Armour Premium All-Natural Lard and drop in each slice of steak. Careful to watch out for any splatter in this step because it is HOT. Let the steak cook for 1 minute, 30 seconds each side and then put on a plate for a moment while the broccoli cooks.

Don’t worry about wiping the pan clean before placing back on the heat. Add in another .5 tablespoon Armour Premium All-Natural Lard. Drop your broccoli in and flip often. Add in some beef broth and turn the heat down slightly. Let the broccoli cook 3-4 minutes. I don’t recommend cooking your broccoli more than 5 minutes because it will reduce the nutrients it provides.

Once the broccoli has cooked 3-4 minutes, add the steak back in followed by your almond flour and beef broth mixture. Give a quick stir and serve immediately.

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs marinated with Modelo Negra and Modelo Especial, garlic, soy sauce, onion, brown sugar, and cilantro with fresh bell pepper, zucchini and cherry tomatoes.  We are having friends over tonight to grill out, drink some cold beers and play a little soccer. I am looking forward to these beer marinated kabobs that are tender with a pinch of sweetness and garlic.

The secret ingredient for these Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs is Modelo.  Chicken kabobs are paired with the Modelo Especial and steak kabobs are paired with the Modelo Negra. The Modelo Especial is a light beer that is well balanced and crisp, which pairs very nicely with chicken. The Modelo Negra is a full flavored dark brew with a smooth taste that adds depth to the steak kabobs. Modelo is brewed with a fighting spirit with high quality and distinctive styles of beer that are perfect for our kabobs today!

Why marinate meat with beer? The most important reason is beer tenderizes the meat. Secondly, you can bring in another dimension of flavor that is more rich and earthy. There is also research out there that supports that beer used in meat marinades can reduce carcinogens, which means reduce your cancer risk. Those are 3 pretty darn good reasons to crack open a beer when marinating meat.

Modelo Especial and Modelo Negra are eaily found on the beer asile in the fridge section. Look for Modelo 12 ounce bottles and cans. Don’t forget the fresh limes!

The husband and I both played soccer when we were younger and are excited for Modelo to have such a big part in the soccer world.

While writing this, I’m reminded of an experience I had vacationing down in Mexico a few years back. USA and Mexico soccer teams were playing a big game against each other so we ventured out to a local bar to drink some cold cervezas while eating great food and watching the game. We had such a great time with the locals cheering on our teams. I can only imagine what it would be like to actually be at a big game like that. Such a blast!

 

The meat will marinate for 2 hours prior to grilling. You may also marinate overnight if you wish. In two separate bags, add your minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, cilantro, onion and of course, the Modelo. Chop your steak and chicken into large bite sized pieces and add to the bags. Match the chicken with Modelo Especial and steak with the Modelo Negra. However, you can switch around the beer used for the marinades. Use Modelo Especial for both possibly. You are the boss. Do whatever your heart desires.

Vegetables used for these Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs are also up to you. I used green bell pepper, red bell pepper, zucchini and cherry tomatoes today. Onions or mushrooms would be great swaps. Whichever vegetables you pick, chop into large bite size pieces and assemble onto the skewers with the meat.

 

Grilled Chicken and Steak Kabobs are pretty simple to make and you can use various vegetables. I have a few tips to making great kabobs.

  1. Use your Modelo marinade for flavor and tenderness.
  2. Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using…. unless you want the skewers on fire (if using wooden skewers).
  3. Place the chicken kabobs on the grill 5 minutes before the steak kabobs. We want to make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and juices are running clear. The steak can have a pinch of pink.

Steak with Rosemary Garlic Sauce

Steak with Rosemary Garlic Sauce

Steak with Rosemary Garlic Sauce has petite sirloin cut steak with an amazingly flavorful rosemary garlic sauce with a touch of lemon and shallots.

As a child, I hated steak. I thought it was horrible and gross. I wanted nothing to do with it. When I got older, I started trying more foods and different cooking methods and came to love steak. My mother would always cook our steak well done growing up. I mean WELL done. Sorry mom, steak isn’t your department. It was flavorless and hard to chew. For full flavor, keep some pink in your steak. I prefer my steak medium-rare and cook my kids a few minutes longer to be a medium to medium-well.

Steak with Rosemary Garlic Sauce

Let us start by talking about the steak. I buy petite steak a lot. It is affordable and flavorful.  However, petite steak can be less tender than other cuts. You can certainly swap out the cut of steak in this recipe for whichever cut you prefer. I know when you have kids to feed, staying affordable is a must and the petite is a great option for those who love steak but don’t always love the price tag.

Grilling the steak really gives the best flavor so that is what we need today. I say “we” because I haven’t grilled anything in a decade. My husband is the grill chef in this household. I’m just the supervisor… which he isn’t too entertained by but marriage is what it is.

Cooking time on the grill is important. Set your grill on a medium heat. I stick to the cooking times Bobby Flay recommends. I’m pretty sure the guy knows what he is doing.  Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes for medium or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well. We cook the steak about 5 minutes each side and let the kids steaks cook another few minutes.

Steak with Rosemary Garlic Sauce

Steak with Rosemary Garlic Sauce has a really great sauce. This sauce was inspired from a steak on the menu from Long Horn Steak House. Long Horn’s has a steak with a rosemary gravy, mushrooms, topped with onion straws that is pretty tasty. This is not a copy cat sauce, the sauce was just my inspiration. Instead of onion straws, I used shallots and lightened it up with some lemon. I did not leave out the amazing rosemary flavor though so if you love that Long Horn steak, this is not the same but much of the flavor profile is there so you are sure to love this too.

We made mashed potatoes on the side today and drizzled the sauce over those too and it was delicious in replace of a thick gravy. Plus, it is so simple to make with just a few ingredients.

  6. Add your garlic, rosemary, olive oil and squeeze the lemon. Let simmer for 2 minutes.

  8. In a small bowl, place the remainder of the beef broth (1/4 cup) and 1 tablespoon flour and mix well. Pour into the saucepan.

Grilled Beef and Broccoli Bowls

Yields: 4

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin
  • 3 cups cut broccoli
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1.5 teaspoons ginger
  1. Gather ingredients, rice cooker, measuring cups, knife, foil, cutting board, large bowl, pan, whisk, garlic press, skewer sticks, and prepare your grill.
  2. Get your skewer sticks soaking in water if they are the wood ones like ours. This helps prevent splintering while on the grill.
  3. On the stove top, prepare your homemade teriyaki sauce. On a medium heat, add 1/4 water, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar into the pan and whisk. Use your hand grater to grate 1 garlic clove and an even amount of fresh ginger, should equal around 1.5 teaspoons. Continue to whisk until sugar has dissolved. Set sauce to the side.
  4. Wash broccoli and cut up. Put to the side.
  5. Cut your 1.5 pounds of sirloin into cubed bite size pieces and set into bowl. Pour about half the teriyaki sauce into the bowl to marinate the steak.
  6. Begin cooking rice according to package directions. Pick any rice you please. I dump ours into the rice cooker and if you don't have one I recommend to buy one. So easy to throw some in the rice cooker and walk away or before I go to work, set the timer so rice is ready at dinner time.
  7. Prepare the broccoli you set to the side earlier. Grab some foil and throw the broccoli on it mixed with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Give a little mix and cover completely with foil. Set on grill for 15 minutes.
  8. Put the marinated steak cubes onto the skewers as the broccoli begins to cook. Set on the grill for 10 minutes turning often.
  9. Now that everything is cooked, Put some rice in a bowl, add the grilled broccoli and top off with a steak skewer. Pour some of that extra teriyaki sauce on too if you would like. Enjoy!
