Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 cups Broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1/4 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Arrowroot powder
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Prepare the Beef

In a bowl, combine beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, beef broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, arrowroot powder, and water. This is your sauce.

Brown the Beef

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides. This may need to be done in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the browned beef from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Garlic and Ginger

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add Broccoli and Sauce

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to coat with the garlic and ginger. Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli. Bring to a simmer.

Combine and Simmer

Return the browned beef to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve hot over cauliflower rice or gluten-free rice.
