Tender flank steak, crisp-charred broccoli, and a glossy, garlicky sauce — this stir-fry hits every note you want from a takeout classic, made entirely at home. The secret to keeping it completely wheat-free is coconut aminos in place of traditional soy sauce, delivering that same deep, savory umami without a drop of wheat in sight. Arrowroot starch does double duty here, first tenderizing the beef during its quick marinade, then thickening the sauce into that signature glossy coating that clings to every piece. Fresh ginger and garlic build real depth, while a splash of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of turmeric round out the sauce with brightness and warmth. Cooking the broccoli separately over screaming-hot heat means you get those beautiful charred edges and a tender-crisp bite rather than soggy florets drowning in sauce. High heat and working in batches ensures the beef sears properly instead of steaming, so you get that satisfying caramelized crust on every slice. Finish with a scatter of fresh scallions and dinner is on the table fast, with zero compromise on flavor.
