Whole 30 Beef and Broccoli
This one is for all the Whole 30 -ers out there who are running out of recipe or meal prep ideas. Sharing is caring, right?
I have been using this Beef and Broccoli recipe from the Real Food with Jessica blog for a few years now, even when I am not on Whole 30. It’s great for a weeknight meal, because it’s easy, quick and delicious – a winning combination.
Here’s what you need…
Sesame Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Flank steak
Fresh Broccoli
Powdered ginger
Garlic powder
Red pepper flakes, optional
Tapioca (or corn starch if not Whole 30) starch, if you want to use it as a thickener.
The red pepper flakes are for a little heat. If you’d prefer, you can leave out this spice, but I prefer the kick.
Also, I’ve made this dish with and without a thickener, and it turns out great either way!
Serve over cauliflower rice (or regular rice if not Whole 30).
Good luck to everyone crazy enough to try the Whole 30!
