Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

1 lb thinly sliced beef
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 green onions, chopped

Sauce (natural)

1/4 cup soy sauce (natural)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar (natural)
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp sesame oil (natural)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup water mixed with natural gelling agent

Other

1 tbsp natural oil for cooking (such as vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Finely mince garlic and ginger to release fresh flavors.
Make the Sauce (natural): In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, brown sugar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil (natural), garlic, and ginger. Add water mixed with natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce as it cooks.
Cook the Beef: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of natural oil. Quickly sear the beef slices until browned but still juicy. Remove beef and set aside.
Sauté the Broccoli: In the same pan, add broccoli florets and a little water. Steam and soften slightly while retaining a crisp texture.
Combine and Simmer: Return the beef to the pan and pour the sauce (natural) over everything. Stir well to coat and simmer briefly until the sauce thickens and ingredients are heated through.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish and serve hot. Pair with steamed rice, noodles, or a low-carb alternative like cauliflower rice for a complete meal.

Notes

Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Use fresh broccoli florets for best color and crunch.
Cook quickly to preserve texture and flavor.
Use just enough natural gelling agent slurry to get a silky sauce coat.
Prep ingredients ahead to speed cooking and prevent overcooking.
