beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are often more affordable and still provide good flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

Lower sodium options are healthier for those monitoring salt intake.

Slice 1 pound of flank steak into thin rectangular pieces against the grain.

Marinate the beef with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of arrowroot starch.

Let the beef marinate while preparing the vegetables.

Cut 1 pound of broccoli into mostly uniform pieces, removing some stems.

Slice 1/2 an onion into rectangular pieces.

Heat 2 tablespoons of organic sunflower oil in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes.

Add the marinated beef to the pan and allow it to brown for about 1 minute on each side, then remove it from the pan.

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger, and the sliced onion, stirring until the onion begins to brown.

Add the broccoli and pour in 1/2 cup of water, then cover with a lid to steam for 3 minutes.

Season the broccoli with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, adjusting for desired gravy thickness.

Add the beef back into the pan, stirring to combine and letting the arrowroot starch create a gravy.

Turn off the flame and garnish with green onion and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
