Beef and Broccoli
Chinese food is notorious for being really unhealthy. Classic dishes are loaded with fats like butter and oil and contain crazy amounts of sodium. While I love the delicious flavors of Chinese food, I can't eat it! It makes me bloat and feel sick. So here is a super simple and tasty way to recreate one of the most classic Chinese dishes.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Flank Steak, SLiced into bite size trips
- 4 cups Broccoli Florets about .75 a pound
Sauce
- 2 tbs cornstarch mixed with 3 tbs of water
- 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos, Tamari or Reduced Sodium Soy
- 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 3 tbsp Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Ginger, Minced
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all your sauce ingredients.
- Over medium heat, heat up 1 tbsp of oil on a skillet. Add your broccoli florets and stir fry for about 5 minutes.
- Remove broccoli. Increase heat a bit to medium high. Add another tbsp of oil and add your steak. Saute for about 2 minutes per side or to your desired finish.
- Add your sauce to pan and reduce your heat back to medium. Let it boil so the cornstarch thickens up. Add in your broccoli. Toss together. Serve over fluffy Jasmine or sticky rice!
