Sizzling flank steak and crisp-tender broccoli come together in a glossy, garlicky sauce that tastes like it came from your favorite takeout spot — except you made it entirely from scratch. The marinade does real work here, coating thin-sliced beef in coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and arrowroot starch so every piece sears up beautifully in a screaming-hot skillet. The sauce layers in bone broth, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and minced garlic for a depth that's savory, slightly tangy, and just a little warming. Because every ingredient is whole and straightforward, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your bowl — no mystery sauces, no hidden additives, no tree nuts lurking in a pre-made blend. The arrowroot thickens the sauce fast and gives it that glossy, restaurant-style finish that makes the dish look as good as it tastes. High heat is the real secret: charred broccoli edges and a proper sear on the beef make all the difference between a great stir-fry and a soggy one. Finish with a scatter of fresh scallions and serve it immediately while everything is still hot and glossy.
