Steps
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until well-browned, about 6-8 minutes. Once well-browned, remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add garlic, shallot and green onions to the beef drippings. Cook one minute, stirring frequently. Add broccoli and cover for 5 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine water and arrowroot starch and mix until no longer lumpy. Combine soy sauce, coconut sugar, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Add arrowroot starch mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
Remove cover from pan and add sauce. Cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. Add beef and stir to combine, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve over brown rice, if desired.

Kay on 2021-07-14 (5 stars): Wow so I have never left a comment on a recipe but this one I just had to! Looking for easy meal prep food and gave this one a try. I used raw honey instead of coconut sugar since I didn’t have that, used a tad bit of flour since I didn’t have the other recommended item, I also used ginger powder since I didn’t have fresh, added some mushrooms at the end and I couldn’t stop eating this meal so that I could pack it up for another day. I’ve never had beef and broccoli from takeout but was pleasantly surprised at how easy and delicious this was to make. I am so glad I found this and tried it. Look forward to making this more often and introducing the family to it someday. Just amazing!! You have GOT to make this recipe

This is a great recipe. Really delicious. Ok, so I made a change. I didn't have a shallot so used a whole brown onion (I love onion) and only had cornstarch.
The sauce was great! 🙏
Marybeth on 2021-03-15 (5 stars): Found this recipe at the last minute and decided to make it for dinner tonight. I usually never have luck with new recipes, but this one totally rocked it! Flavor was amazing and it was only a few simple ingredients. Came together so quickly and we served it with egg noodles, because that's what I had on hand. Will probably use jasmine rice next time. Kids loved it, husband loved it...nothing else to say but this one is a keeper! Used sesame oil to cook the meat and added mushrooms to amp up the veggies. Other than that, followed recipe as listed. Thank you for a fab recipe! Going in my regular rotation.
