Gelatin Free Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry
This sizzling wok dish delivers everything you want from a great stir-fry — tender seared beef, crisp-edged broccoli, zucchini, and sweet red bell pepper all tossed in a glossy, ginger-forward sauce. Coconut aminos stand in for traditional soy sauce, bringing that savory depth without any of the additives that can sneak into bottled condiments, and arrowroot starch thickens the sauce into a beautiful, clingy glaze. The marinade does double duty, seasoning the flank steak while helping it develop a gorgeous sear over high heat. Fresh lemon juice and grated ginger keep the sauce bright and lively, while a whisper of turmeric adds warmth and a golden hue. Every single ingredient here is straightforwardly whole-food, so there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden thickeners or mystery stabilizers. Finish it with a scatter of cilantro and sesame seeds and you've got a restaurant-quality bowl that comes together faster than takeout.
