2 tbl rice wine vinegar

Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and carrots and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

In a wok or non stick pan, add the coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips. Saute over medium heat until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and reserved vegetables. Cook 2 minutes more to toast the garlic then pour in the sauce.
