No matter the season, I am always looking for a quick and easy meal. This is especially true in the summer months when I don't want to be standing over the stove for very long. This Paleo Beef and Broccoli is full of flavor and takes less than 30 minutes!
We all have our favorite takeout spots that we love to get the classic beef and broccoli at. Mine happens to be P.F. Changs, which also happens to not make me feel very good for whatever reason. Likely it is the oil they use for me, but for you it might be the soy, sugar, etc. This recipe is completely soy-free, sugar-free and gluten-free! Now this might sound boring to you, but I promise it is still full of that delicious umami flavor you know and love.
For this recipe I used pre-cut beef from Greensbury. I love this pack of meat because it cooks much faster and takes a lot of time out of prep for this recipe. If you are not ordering from Greensbury or buying pre-cut meat, I recommend buying a flank steak that you can slice very thinly. This will be your best bet for not only a quick meal, but for the most tender meat.
Tips for Paleo Beef and Broccoli:
- Marinade the meat for about an hour before cooking. If you don't have time for this then combine all the ingredients into a bowl for pouring over the meat.
- Use Greensbury pre-cut Organic Grass-fed Beef Fajita for a quick and easy meal. If not you can use a flank steak.
- Serve this over your favorite rice! Cauliflower rice is great if you are doing a Whole30 or you can use any other rice that you like best.
- This saves great for left-over lunch the next day or could even be frozen for a meal later in the month.
