1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 green onions, sliced

1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Steam or blanch broccoli florets until tender-crisp; set aside.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak slices 2–3 minutes per side until desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and garlic to make the dressing.

For extra flavor, marinate the steak in a little soy sauce and ginger for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
Substitute tamari for soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
Add sliced avocado or roasted cashews for a creamy, crunchy twist.
