A quick, easy, and flavorful Whole30-compliant beef and broccoli stir-fry that is perfect for clean eating dinners, meal prep, and family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, washed and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. For easier slicing, freeze beef for 20 minutes beforehand.
  2. Wash broccoli thoroughly and cut into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice thick stalks thinly if desired.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, fish sauce (if using), arrowroot starch, and water or broth until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat avocado or coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  5. Add sliced beef in a single layer (in batches if needed). Sear without moving for 1-2 minutes, then stir-fry until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  6. Lower heat slightly and add garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. For softer broccoli, add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam.
  8. Return beef to the pan and pour sauce over everything. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with pepper or more coconut aminos if needed. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

Notes

Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Use high heat to sear beef quickly without stewing. Mix arrowroot starch with cold water before adding to sauce to avoid lumps. Let beef rest briefly after searing to prevent toughness. Fresh broccoli is preferred over frozen for best texture.
