1

Cut 2 lbs of flank steak into thin strips against the grain and set aside.

2

Heat 3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Add the beef to the skillet along with 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

4

Cook the beef over medium-high heat until seared all over, about 5 minutes.

5

Peel and dice 1 onion, using half for the beef and half for the coconut rice.

6

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of broccoli florets and half of the diced onion to the beef in the skillet and stir to combine.

7

Mix in 3 tablespoons of butter and 4 cloves of minced garlic.

8

Add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead of fresh ginger, then stir in 1 cup of cashews and let cook for around 2 minutes until the beef starts to get crispy.

9

For the sauce, stir in 1/3 cup of soy sauce and 3 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, then add 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar.

10

Cook until the sauce slightly thickens, then remove from heat.

11

For the coconut rice, cut a head of cauliflower into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice, working in batches to make about 4 cups.

12

In a clean skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat for about a minute, then add the remaining diced onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.

13

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and then the cauliflower rice and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the skillet.

14

Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until tender, then add 1 cup of coconut milk and let cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid has evaporated and the cauliflower rice is cooked through.

15

Season the coconut rice with more salt and pepper if needed, then plate the coconut cauliflower rice and top with the cashew beef, garnishing with cilantro, minced jalapeno, and lime zest.
