What ingredients you need to make Beef and Broccoli:

• Coconut aminos – I use this instead of soy sauce 
• Beef, chicken or vegetable broth – use your go-to broth. Any of these work
• Sesame oil – toasted sesame oil is great in this sauce 
• Arrowroot flour – you could use tapioca flour or cornstarch 
• Garlic cloves – freshly minced garlic is best
• Ginger – use ground or freshly grated ginger
• Flank steak, skirt steak, sirloin steak – any of these cuts can work for this
• Olive oil – or your go-to cooking oil. You could use sesame oil too if you want
• Broccoli – I used frozen and heated it up in microwave for 3 minutes first

FAQs and tips on making this 15-minute Beef and Broccoli:

1. What kind of beef works best? A good cut like sirloin, flank steak, rib-eye or skirt steak works best for this. I look for grass-fed/grass-finished.
2. How do I cut the steak correctly? Slice against the grain, not parallel with it and cut it into thin slices about 1/4 inch thick.
3. I don’t eat beef, what else can I do? Use chicken! Gives it full on chicken teriyaki vibes, which is also so good.
4. This recipe is quick! I recommend having the ingredients all ready so you can make this seamlessly.
5. What do you serve this with? Rice, noodles or add to to lettuce as lettuce wraps.
6. Can I double this recipe? Absolutely. If you are serving more than 4, feel free to double the recipe to serve more and make enough leftovers.
7. What can I do with the leftovers? Store in fridge for 3-5 days and reheat in microwave or in skillet. I like to add a splash of broth to thin the sauce out too. Not mandatory but I like to do it.
