For the fried rice

Instructions
- To marinate the steak, slice the steak thinly against the grain. Toss with arrowroot starch, salt and pepper, and coconut sugar. Add the coconut aminos and set aside.
- To prep the sauce, combine the ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup and set aside.
- Using a large pan or wok, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli and lightly season with salt and pepper. Saute until lightly crisp. Reduce the heat and add 2-3 tbsp of water. Cover and allow to steam for 4-5 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. Set aside.
- Add another tbsp of oil to the pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add steak in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until crisp. Set aside.
- Add the cold rice to the pan, and saute for 3-4 minutes or until lightly crispy.
- Reduce the heat. Add the cooked steak, broccoli, and sauce to the pan with the rice. Toss to allow the sauce to thicken and coat the rice, beef and vegetables.
- Serve topped with green onion.
Notes
Use cold, day-old rice to ensure it gets crispy!
