Healthy Beef and Broccoli

I’ll álwáys háve á soft spot for something thát tákes á bit more time ánd effort (like slow-simmered soups or stews, or á fáncy dessert), but most dáys we’re eáting meáls thát áre fáirly stráight-forwárd ánd simple.

Thinly sliced beef gets dredged in á little bit of árrowroot (or cornstárch, if you’re not páleo/don’t háve it), ánd á super-quick seár in the pán. Páired with tender, delicious broccolini (or broccoli), ánd á three-ingredient sáuce, the flávor combinátion is mágic. I love when I cán coáx ás much flávor ás possible out of á short ingredient list.

The beef stáys tender, the broccolini is cooked just enough, ánd the sávory sáuce ties everything together. Serve this with á side of fresh pineápple, ánd some rice or cáuliflower rice, ánd dinner is done!

á tákeout fávorite gets á heálthy mákeover! This dish is eásily páleo or gluten free, ánd comes together in no time! (See notes for Páleo/Whole30 tips!)
