Description
A simple, compliant recipe for beef and broccoli stir fry suitable for Paleo and Whole30 diets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, check Whole30 compliance)
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch (for thickening)
Instructions
- Toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Add broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining coconut aminos, beef broth, and arrowroot starch.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the broccoli. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Toss everything together until the beef is heated through and coated with the sauce.
- Stir in the sesame oil, if using, just before serving.
Notes
- If you omit sesame oil for strict Whole30, the flavor remains good.
- For best results, slice the flank steak against the grain.
- You can add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers with the broccoli for extra vegetables.
