A simple weeknight stir fry.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. beef sliced thinly cube, flank, sirloin, etc 1 large or 2 small steaks should be sufficient.
  • 5 cups broccoli chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 onion chopped or sliced thin (optional)
  • 5 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • ½ cup tamari coconut aminos, or real fermented soy sauce (non-GMO)
  • ½ cup water or broth
  • 2 tsp. non-GMO cornstarch arrowroot, or flour
  • 2 T. coconut oil for stir frying

Instructions

  • Heat 1 T. oil over medium high heat.
  • Add broccoli and onions.
  • Stir fry for 7-10 minutes or until crisp tender. You may need to add some water to the pan if it gets dry and you need some moisture to keep the broccoli from burning.
  • While vegetables are cooking, in a separate measuring cup, mix together garlic, tamari, water, and thickening agent.
  • Scoot over vegetables, add additional T. oil to pan, and stir fry the beef for about a minute. You don't want it to get tough.
  • Mix together beef and vegetables after a minute and stir fry together for another minute.
  • Add sauce mixture to the stir fry and cook for about 2 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened.
