Gluten-Free Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
A quick and easy recipe for a delicious gluten-free beef and broccoli stir-fry that feels like takeout but is made in your kitchen.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced Could also use sirloin or ground beef.
- 4 cups broccoli florets Fresh is best, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained well.
- 2 tbsp gluten-free tamari Key for keeping the dish gluten-free.
- 1 tbsp sesame oil Adds flavor; use sparingly.
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar Can reduce for a low-sugar option.
- 1 cup beef broth or water Check gluten content if using broth.
- 1 tbsp cornstarch Helps thicken the sauce.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh is best, but jarred can be used.
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced Can also use jarred versions.
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the beef thinly, preferably after freezing it for 10 to 15 minutes to make slicing easier.
- In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free tamari, garlic, ginger, honey or brown sugar, sesame oil, and beef broth or water.
- Mix cornstarch with a splash of cold water and stir it into the sauce mixture.
- Blanch or steam the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat and add a bit of oil.
- Add the sliced beef in a single layer. Brown the edges, avoiding steaming the meat.
- Once the beef is browned, add the broccoli and pour the sauce over the mixture.
- Stir and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
- Adjust seasoning with more tamari or honey if needed and top with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
Notes
Ensure all sauce ingredients are gluten-free. Use fresh ingredients for best results and don't overcook.
