Ingredients
Orange Broccoli Beef Sauce
- Zest from 1 orange
- 1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1/3 cup chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated or finely minced
- 2 cloves of garlic grated or finely minced
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot starch
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil
Orange Broccoli Beef
- 12 oz flat iron steak I get all my steak from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend!
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt + 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 6 cups broccoli florets from about 3 heads of broccoli
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
- Combine all the Orange Broccoli Beef Sauce ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Pat the flat iron steak completely dry with a paper towel, then season with the salt and pepper.
- When the cast iron skillet is warm, add in the avocado oil. Sear off the steaks until golden brown and they have an internal temperature of 125ºF, about 5 or so minutes per side depending on the thickness of your flat iron steak. Remove the steaks, and allow to rest on a cutting board.
- In the same cast iron skillet, add the broccoli, onions and water. Cook over medium high heat until the broccoli and onion are tender and all the water has evaporated, about 5-8 minutes.
- Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain, then add back in to the skillet with the cooked broccoli and onions.
- Add in Orange Broccoli Beef Sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until warm and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve warm. Great with cauliflower rice and topped with sesame seeds!
- Will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for 5 days, or frozen for 6 months.
Notes
Meal Prep Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. HEATING: Either microwave until warm, about 3-5 minutes (I like to sprinkle in a little water to help it steam and prevent it from drying out). Or reheat in a 350ºF oven until warm, 10-15 minutes.
Other Veggies: Sometimes I like to add in sliced red bell pepper! You can substitute cauliflower florets too. Whatever vegetables sound good to you!
