Easy Weeknight Beef & Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken or beef stock
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flake
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrow root powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2lb thinly sliced beef shoulder or flank steak
  • 1 1/2lb broccoli (I usually use a thawed frozen package)

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1
Add all ingredients EXCEPT beef, broccoli, and oil to a large bowl. Once thoroughly mixed, add thinly sliced beef and let marinade for 10-15 minutes (or over night if you prefer).
Step 2
When you are ready to cook, heat oil on HIGH in a large wok or pan (I also like to coat the pan with non stick spray). Pan needs to be VERY hot. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, shake off as much as liquid as you can and add beef in batches to pan in a single layer (I usually do 2-3 batches). Sear for 20-30 seconds per side, remove from pan, and place in a separate/clean bowl. Repeat with the remaining meat.
Step 3
Once meat is all seared in separate bowl, return to the pan and add leftover marinade. Add broccoli. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until broccoli is heated through. Serve over rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
