Recipe: gluten free crispy beef and broccoli

Serves 2
Make your favorite type or rice or gluten free noodles to serve with for a complete meal!

For beef portion:

• 1-1/2 pounds steak, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce
• 1 clove of garlic, minced or crushed

Mix all ingredients in a bowl or bag (add steak last). Mix well so steak is evenly coated and let sit for at least 10 mins. Heat pan on stove on high with cooking oil of choice, add steak and distribute evenly in pan. Do not crowd the pan or the meat won't crisp correctly (I cooked half and put the rest in a bowl while the other half was cooking). Set meat aside when it's cooked to your liking and get ready for the veggie portion.

For broccoli portion:

• as much broccoli as you want (I used a bunch and cut some pieces off and sliced the stalk as well)
• any other veggies you want
• scallions sliced
• garlic (crushed, minced, or powdered will work)
• salt and pepper
• cooking oil
• sauce of choice (make one from scratch or use you favorite gluten free teriyaki)

Add more oil to the pan and lower the heat to medium. Toss in broccoli and other veggies, season with salt, pepper, and garlic. As veggies cook, add in small amounts of water for them to absorb. You can cover the pan for more tender veggies but I prefer the crunch. Once they're cooked to your liking, toss in some sauce and add the beef in. Turn the heat down and mix well. Toss in the scallions and it's time to eat!

For an easy sauce just mix some gluten free soy sauce with brown sugar, spices, oil, and about a teaspoon of cornstarch if you want a thicker sauce.

I prefer to use Organicville Sesame Teriyaki sauce and for soy sauce I use San-J Tamari
