Gluten Free One-Pan Beef Stir-Fry

Prep time20 min

Cook time15 min

Thinly sliced flank steak sears fast and stays tender, browned in a hot skillet until the edges caramelize before joining a colorful mix of broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onion. Garlic and ginger get bloomed right in the pan for that fragrant, restaurant-style base, and everything comes together in a glossy, clingy glaze that hits sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy from the red pepper flakes. The whole thing cooks in one skillet start to finish, so cleanup is minimal and dinner is ready in well under thirty minutes. Toasted sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds round out the flavor with that nutty, savory finish stir-fry lovers crave. Serve it over rice for a complete meal, or spoon it straight from the pan for a lighter bowl. This one's a solid pick for a gluten free weeknight dinner rotation, delivering all the takeout-style flavor without the usual guesswork.
