Ingredients
  

  • 4 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil (divided)
  • 12 oz broccoli florets
  • cooked rice (for serving)
  • 1-1 /2 - 1-3/4 lbs flank steak (sliced very thin against the grain)
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari (or soy sauce if not GF)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari (or soy sauce if not GF)

Instructions
 

  • Add the thinly sliced flank steak to a gallon-size Ziplock bag, drizzle with 2 Tablespoons Tamari, sprinkle on 2 Tablespoons cornstarch, and season with salt and pepper. Seal the bag and squish to coat evenly. Refrigerate for up to an hour.
  • Whisk 2 Tablespoons cornstarch with half the water in a small bowl. Add 1/3 cup Tamari and whisk again to combine.
  • Steam 12 oz broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large wok over high heat. Sear 1/3 of the beef until deep golden brown, then stir-fry until just cooked through. Remove to a plate.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil and repeat searing and stir-frying with another 1/3 of the beef. Remove to the plate.
  • Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and sear and stir-fry the last batch of beef. Remove to the plate.
  • Return the pan to medium heat. Whisk the sauce again, then add to the pan. Stir for 1 minute until slightly thickened, then add the beef and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the sauce is fully thickened.
