This gluten-free, and refined sugar-free recipe of beef and broccoli, is garlicky and features the best stir-fry sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos (or Tamari)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour (powder)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped

Meat & Cooking Oil

  • 8 oz top sirloin steak, thinly sliced (or skirt steak)
  • salt and pepper (to desired amount throughout the process)
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil

Produce (vegetables and herbs)

  • 1 medium onion, halved, and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, core and seeds removed, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium head of broccoli, tough stems removed, and cut into florets.
  • green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

STIR-FRY SAUCE

  1. Create the stir-fry sauce by combining the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and garlic into a microwave-safe bowl. I like to use a Pyrex measuring glass because of the handle and lid.
  2. Microwave the mixture for 60 seconds.
  3. Add the arrowroot flour (or AP flour) to the mixture and use a whisk to combine ingredients until free of lumps. Place stir-fry sauce aside.

FRY THE BEEF

  1. Cut the steak into thin slices. This step can be easier with partially frozen meat. Season the slices with salt and pepper. Massage to coat evenly.
  2. Place a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the oil, and swirl to evenly distribute the oil covering the bottom.
  3. Add the steak. Stir-fry until the steak is golden brown and has a nice char, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the meat from the pan.

FRY AND STEAM THE VEGETABLES

  1. Add the onion, red pepper, and broccoli to the same pan. Season with an additional pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, just enough to combine ingredients evenly.
  3. Place a lid over the skillet and steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes or until the broccoli turns bright greens.

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

  1. Remove the lid, and return the beef to the pan.
  2. Pour the stir-fry sauce over all of the beef and vegetables. Stir-fry ingredients until the sauce is thick and glossy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Serve with a side of brown rice or quinoa. Garnish with green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro.
