Healthy Beef And Broccoli
Healthful pork and Broccoli – This take-out favourite is so smooth to make at home and–bonus–it’s paleo, gluten free, and Whole30 accepted!
Thinly sliced red meat receives dredged in a bit little bit of arrowroot (or cornstarch, if you’re not paleo/don’t have it), and a super-quick sear inside the pan. Paired with gentle, delicious broccolini (or broccoli), and a three-factor sauce, the flavor mixture is magic. I love when i can coax as plenty flavor as feasible out of a quick element listing.
The red meat stays gentle, the broccolini is cooked just enough, and the savory sauce ties the entirety together. Serve this with a aspect of sparkling pineapple, and a few rice or cauliflower rice, and dinner is executed!
INGREDIENTS :
- 2 Tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch
- 1lb. broccolini (or broccoli), cut into 2” sections
- 3/4lb. lean steak (such as top sirloin, or loin tip) thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup low sodium gluten free tamari, coconut aminos, or soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1/4–1/2 cup water, as desired
- olive oil or coconut oil, for cooking
INSTRUCTIONS :
- In a medium bowl, combine thinly sliced steak with arrowroot (or cornstarch) and a pinch of pepper. Toss to coat well.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add a few slices of steak (not touching each other) to the pan. Cook 60-90 seconds per side, then transfer to a clean plate or bowl. Repeat with remaining steak, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- When all the steak is cooked, add broccoli to the pan (again, if the pan is a bit dry, add a bit more oil). Cook 4-5 minutes, or until crisp-tender (cook longer if you like your broccoli softer).
- While the broccoli is cooking, mix up your sauce by combining the coconut aminos/tamari, garlic, ginger, and pepper.
- When broccoli is cooked through, transfer to plate/bowl with the steak. Pour sauce into the pan and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Return cooked broccoli and steak to the pan and stir to coat. The sauce should naturally thicken as it heats through and bubbles for a few minutes (3-5 minutes). If sauce is too thick, add a bit of water (or more coconut aminos/tamari).
- Serve warm!
