Gluten Free Honey Beef and Broccoli

This stir-fry starts with thin strips of flank steak marinated in coconut aminos and tapioca starch, then seared hot and fast until deeply browned on the outside and juicy within. Crisp-tender broccoli gets a quick toss in avocado oil until bright green, then everything comes together in a glossy sauce built from more coconut aminos, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey, thickened to a silky coat-the-spoon consistency. Garlic and fresh ginger sizzle into the pan before the sauce goes in, giving the whole dish that deep, savory-sweet aroma you want from good beef and broccoli. Spooned over fluffy white rice and finished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, it's the kind of weeknight dinner that feels like a takeout favorite made at home. This one is a great fit for a gluten free table, no delivery menu required.
