Key ingredients and substitutions: 

• Sirloin steak - I used sirloin steak to make this Asian beef and broccoli but you could swap the sirloin steak for other cuts of steak such as flank steak. If you can I recommend using pasture raised, grass fed beef if possible for the most health benefits as well as the ethical treatment of the animals.
• Broccoli - fresh broccoli adds both color, fiber, as well as healthy vitamins and minerals to this recipe.
• Coconut aminos - coconut aminos is my favorite alternative to soy sauce which gives the sauce on this beef and broccoli so much flavour while keeping it gluten free. You could easily swap this for soy sauce if you tolerate soy and gluten.
• Honey - this natural sweetener is used to sweeten the delicious beef and broccoli sauce while keeping it refined sugar free. You could also use maple syrup.
• Ginger - ground ginger helps add delicious flavour to the sauce and adds healthy anti-inflammatory properties to this recipe.
• Beef broth - to help add delicious flavour to this meal. You could easily swap this for vegetable broth, bone broth or chicken broth too.
