Beef and Broccoli + RECIPE VIDEO

flank steak

Tablespoon cooking oil

water (for blanching broccoli (omit if not blanching))

garlic (finely minced)

ginger

broccoli florets (about 1 head)

cornstarch (or arrowroot or tapioca starch for paleo)

dark soy sauce (optional

sesame oil

black pepper

1-1/2 Tablespoons oyster sauce

soy sauce (optional, but recommended)

granulated sugar (or 1 teaspoon raw honey

Mirin (Chinese cooking wine

cornstarch (can substitute with arrowroot or tapioca starch

salt and black pepper (to taste)

cold water (sodium free chicken broth

rice, quinoa, or noodles

Marinate the beef: In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Add the beef slices and stir until coated. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.

Meanwhile blanch the broccoli: (skip if not blanching) In a large non-stick saute pan or wok on high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 30 seconds. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Make the sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Heat cooking oil over high heat, for about 2 minutes - using the same non-stick pan or wok you used for your broccoli. The pan needs to be hot enough that you start seeing a little bit of smoke rising.

Quickly add the beef to the smoking pan and spread the pieces out to a single layer allowing them to sear and brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink (about 1-2 minutes making sure not to overcook). Pour in the sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce boils and thickens - about 30 seconds. Add more water if needed to thin out the sauce. Quickly stir in the broccoli and toss everything together to coat well. Salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot over rice or noodles.

For meal prep:&nbsp;Divide evenly into lunch containers with your favorite carb - rice, quinoa or noodles.
