Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add beef strips, season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides but still slightly pink inside; remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Add minced ginger and garlic to the center, cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Step 3: Return beef to the skillet, add coconut aminos and remaining 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and evenly coats ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Beef & Broccoli Reset Stir-Fry take to make?

Total time is about 25 minutes (15 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Beef & Broccoli Reset Stir-Fry?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep thinly sliced beef sirloin from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Beef & Broccoli Reset Stir-Fry?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Beef & Broccoli Reset Stir-Fry for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Is Beef & Broccoli Reset Stir-Fry whole30?

Yes — this recipe is tagged whole30 based on its ingredient list. Always cross-check labels for packaged ingredients (sauces, broths, condiments) since formulations vary by brand.
