Qty	Item
1 lb 450 g	Flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
4 cups 300 g	Broccoli florets
1/3 cup 80 ml	Tamari sauce (gluten-free)
1/2 cup 120 ml	Beef broth
1 tbsp 15 ml	Honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp 8 g	Cornstarch
1 tbsp 15 g	Fresh ginger, minced
3 cloves 15 g	Garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp 5 ml	Toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp 30 ml	Vegetable oil or avocado oil

2 Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari sauce, beef broth, honey, cornstarch, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.

Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Wipe out the pan if necessary and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes to steam-cook the broccoli until crisp-tender.

Remove the lid and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Give the sauce mixture a quick stir and pour it into the pan. Bring to a simmer.

Add the beef back into the pan. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and glazed the beef and broccoli.

Serve immediately over jasmine rice or cauliflower rice.

·
Slice the beef while it is slightly frozen to get paper-thin, restaurant-style strips.
·
Always slice the meat against the grain to ensure the steak is tender rather than chewy.
·
For extra heat, add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or Sriracha to the sauce mixture.
·
Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the beef; work in batches if necessary to ensure a good crust.

? Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Tamari and Soy Sauce?

Tamari is a Japanese form of soy sauce that is typically made without wheat, making it naturally gluten-free and offering a richer, less salty flavor.

Can I use a different cut of beef?

Yes, while flank steak is traditional, you can also use skirt steak, sirloin tips, or ribeye for a more tender result.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan to maintain the texture of the broccoli.

Can I make this vegan?

Absolutely. Replace the beef with extra-firm pressed tofu or tempeh, and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
