Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons scallions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain, ensuring each slice is about 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the beef, and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining coconut aminos, beef broth, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced ginger and garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir to coat the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and broccoli.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot with a choice of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
