Takeout-style beef and broccoli is one of those cravings that can feel totally off-limits when you're avoiding gluten, mostly because restaurant versions and bottled sauces are loaded with soy sauce and hidden wheat. This version swaps in coconut aminos throughout — both in the marinade and the sauce — so you get that same deep, savory flavor without any of the worry. Arrowroot starch does the heavy lifting as a thickener, giving the sauce that gorgeous glossy finish that clings to every piece of flank steak and broccoli floret. The beef gets a quick marinade before hitting a screaming-hot skillet, which means beautifully seared edges and tender, juicy slices in just a few minutes. Fresh ginger and garlic show up twice in this recipe, and that double hit is exactly what makes the sauce taste bold and restaurant-worthy rather than flat. A splash of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of turmeric round everything out with a little brightness and warmth. It all comes together in one skillet, making cleanup as easy as the cooking itself.
