A Healthy Take on Broccoli Beef


For once, I don’t have much to say about the creation of this recipe, because it is one of the few on this blog that isn’t original! 😂 This recipe is 100% shoplifted from one of my favorite sources, the Beachbody on Demand Blog. Talk about a treasure trove of recipes! 


If you’re wanting a change up from your normal dinner  routine, this might be one you want to check out. Some ginger and coconut oil go a long way towards this healthier version of your typical Chinese-food-Court dish, with way more flavor and flair! It’s a hit with my kiddos (tolerable by my broccoli-hating husband), and a huge win for me.

Ingredients:
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
6 Tbsp. water, divided use
2 Tbsp. corn starch, divided use
1 Tbsp. raw honey
1 lb. raw top sirloin beef, trimmed of fat and sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
1 tsp. coconut oil
4 cups broccoli florets
2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 thin slice fresh ginger, peeled, finely chopped

Preparation:
1. Combine soy sauce, 4 Tbsp. water, 1 Tbsp. corn starch, and honey in a small bowl; mix well. Set aside.
2. Combine remaining 1 Tbsp. cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. water in a large bowl; mix well. Add beef. Toss gently to coat.
3. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add beef; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from skillet, keep warm.

5. Add broccoli, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes. Place broccoli mixture in beef bowl.
6. Add soy sauce mixture to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat for 30 seconds, or until thickened.
7. Return beef and broccoli mixture to skillet; cook, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until well mixed and heated through.
