For my version I wanted to create just the right balance of flavor. Plenty of garlic, obviously.
I also didn’t want to overwhelm all the other ingredients with soy sauce. My solution for this was to not use soy sauce at all. Gasp. It’s going to be okay, folks. Instead I opted for Coconut Aminos. Ever heard of this? If not, prepare to be amazed. It’s a sauce made from the sap of the coconut tree. It does not taste like coconut. The flavor is very much like a soy sauce but a bit milder. And it’s not made with sugar! If you’re skeptical, I hear ya. But you’re going to want to try this out and soon I bet you’ll be using it as a marinade for everything under the sun. The brand I use is Coconut Secret and I’ve been able to find it in basically every natural food store plus the occasional regular grocery store.
Finally, fresh green broccoli gives this entree some color and crunch.
You can serve with traditional rice, cauliflower rice, or nothing at all. I personally love it on cauliflower rice but it’s satisfying enough to enjoy alone.

Ingredients
Beef & Broccoli
- 1 lb sirloin or flank steak (cut into small 1/4 inch thick pieces)
- 16 oz fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- salt and pepper to taste
- additional Coconut Aminos for drizzling
Marinade
- 1/3 cup Coconut Aminos
- 1 tsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Method
- 1
Marinate steak in all marinade ingredients for a minimum of 20 minutes.
- 2
Add olive oil to skillet on medium high heat. Once skillet is hot, add beef in a single layer. Do not pour in marinade that hasn’t been absorbed. Leave that in the container you used for marinating. If you add it now it will make it more difficult to brown our steak. We’ll deal with it in a few minutes.) Sauté steak so that all sides get a bit of crispy browning. Beef doesn’t need to be completely cooked through when done.

Reduce heat to medium. Add the broccoli florets, any leftover marinade, and 1/2 cup water. Salt and pepper. Stir. Cover and let broccoli steam until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Top with green onions or sesame seeds before serving if you're after a little crunch. Enjoy!
