Soy Free Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Coconut Aminos

This stir-fry delivers all the savory, umami depth you crave without any soy sauce in sight, thanks to coconut aminos doing the heavy lifting in both the marinade and glossy pan sauce. Thin-sliced flank steak gets a quick toss with arrowroot starch before hitting a screaming-hot skillet, so it sears fast and stays tender rather than tough. Broccoli florets are cooked separately first to keep that bright green color and just-tender bite, then everything comes together in one pan with fresh ginger, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and toasted sesame oil for real depth. The sauce thickens up glossy and clings to every piece of beef and broccoli, finished with sliced scallions and a scatter of sesame seeds if you're feeling fancy. It's a fast, weeknight-friendly dinner that comes together in well under 30 minutes of active cooking. This one's a genuinely solid pick for a soy free kitchen, no asterisks needed.
