Sizzling flank steak and crisp-tender broccoli come together in a glossy, deeply savory sauce that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. The marinade — coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and arrowroot starch — works fast to tenderize the beef and give it that satisfying sear you'd expect from a restaurant wok. Instead of soy sauce, the entire dish leans on coconut aminos for its umami backbone, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden nut-based sauces sneaking into your dinner. A touch of turmeric and apple cider vinegar in the sauce adds a subtle brightness that keeps things from feeling heavy. The arrowroot thickens everything into a glossy, clingy coating that makes every bite of beef and broccoli taste intentional. Scallions scattered on top at the end add a fresh, sharp finish that ties the whole bowl together. Serve it straight from the skillet while it's hot and the sauce is still shimmering.
