Beef and Broccoli Serves 5 INGREDIENTS: 4 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil, divided 12oz broccoli florets cooked rice, for serving For the beef: 1-1/2 — 1-3/4lbs flank steak, sliced very thin against the grain 2 Tablespoons gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari or soy sauce (dish will not be GF if using traditional soy sauce) 2 Tablespoons cornstarch salt and pepper, to taste For the sauce: 2 Tablespoons cornstarch 2/3 cup water 1/3 cup gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari or soy sauce (dish will not be GF if using traditional soy sauce) 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar 1 Tablespoon ginger paste, I like Gourmet Garden 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced 1 teaspoon sesame oil DIRECTIONS: 1. Prep the beef: add the thinly sliced flank steak to a gallon-size Ziplock bag then drizzle with the gluten free Tamari, sprinkle on the cornstarch, and season with salt and pepper. Seal the bag then squish to evenly coat the steak. Press out all the air then re-seal the bag and refrigerate for up to an hour while you prepare the rest of the dish. 2. Prep the sauce: add the cornstarch and half the water to a small mixing bowl or glass measuring cup then whisk to combine. Add remaining ingredients then whisk to combine and set aside. 3. Place a steamer basket inside a medium-size cooking pot over a couple inches of water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat then add the broccoli florets to the basket, place a lid on top, turn the heat down to low, and steam until the broccoli is tender, 5-7 minutes. Set aside. 4. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large wok or 12” skillet over high heat. Once hot, tilt the pan so the oil evenly coats the bottom then add 1/3 of the beef into an even layer in the bottom — avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the beef sit undisturbed until seared to a deep golden brown on the bottom (~80% of the way cooked through) then toss with tongs and stir fry until the beef is just barely cooked through. Remove to a plate then set aside. 5. Heat another teaspoon oil in the pan then add another 1/3 of the beef into an even layer in the bottom. Repeat the searing + stir frying steps then remove the beef to the plate and set aside. 6. Heat remaining teaspoon oil in the pan then sear + stir fry the remaining beef. If needed, split the beef in half to avoid overcrowding the pan on the last batch. Remove the beef to the plate then set aside. 7. Remove the pan from the heat for a minute to cool slightly then turn the heat down to medium and place the pan back over the heat. 8. Give the sauce another whisk to ensure the cornstarch has not settled into the bottom of the bowl then add to the pan. Stir with a spatula until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 1 minute, then add the seared beef and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, 1-2 more minutes then remove the pan from the heat. 9. Scoop cooked rice into bowls then top with the beef and sauce. Add the steamed broccoli then serve. NOTES:
  • In order to prevent soggy, overcooked broccoli, I like to serve the steamed broccoli on top of the beef and sauce then have each person mix it all up in their own bowl before eating.
