Paleo Honey Beef and Broccoli

Total time50 min

Prep time20 min

Cook time15 min

Thin-sliced flank steak gets a quick marinate before it hits a screaming-hot skillet, searing fast so it stays tender and never overcooks. Bright, crisp-tender broccoli is stir-fried first to lock in that just-cooked snap, then garlic and fresh ginger bloom in the pan before a glossy, savory-sweet sauce comes together with coconut aminos, a touch of honey, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Everything gets tossed back together so the beef and broccoli soak up that sticky, restaurant-style glaze in every bite. A shower of fresh cilantro at the end adds a clean, herby lift that balances the richness of the seared beef. It's a fast, weeknight-friendly stir-fry with real depth of flavor, and it's a solid pick for a Paleo dinner rotation.

Use cooked cauliflower rice 1:1 in place of cooked rice; sauté it briefly so it stays fluffy, not wet.
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
