Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sliced green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Thinly slice the flank steak across the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, arrowroot powder, and water until smooth and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and a pinch of salt, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until they are bright green and just tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced steak to the skillet in a single layer, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the beef is just browned but still pink inside.
Reduce heat to medium, then add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the broccoli to the skillet, and pour the coconut aminos mixture over the beef and broccoli.
Continue cooking for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish and toss to combine. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant beef broccoli!
