Gluten Free Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Creating delicious meals that are quick and easy is my specialty! I know that your time is precious, so I’ve designed quick and easy meals to help you spend less time in your kitchen and more time doing the things you love. This Gluten Free Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry looks intimidating because of the long list of ingredients, but because you can sear the beef, microwave the broccoli, cook the rice, and make the sauce all at one time, it’s ready in less than 30 minutes! 

If cooking a lot of things at once isn’t your speed, you can also pull out your slow cooker for part of this meal. You can place the beef strips and sauce in your slow cooker to cook all day and then add the broccoli about an hour before serving, so it gets nice and tender. While that continues to finish cooking, you can make your rice. And then, voila, you have a delicious home cooked Gluten Free Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry that practically made itself!

Ingredient and Shortcuts:

Let’s talk beef. You can usually find stir fry beef in the meat section at the grocery store, but what happens when they’re out of it and you’re craving beef stir fry? Well, you have a couple of options. One, you can buy beef strips, but they are hard to come by sometimes. Two, you can buy a flank stank, pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes, and then cut it into thin strips using a sharp knife. Putting it in the freezer for 30 minutes makes it easier to slice. 

Any white rice is great with this dish. You can even use rice pouches that cook in the microwave in 90 seconds to speed things up. Shortcuts are always welcome in my kitchen!

The crushed red pepper flakes add heat to this Gluten Free Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry. You can use more or less depending on how hot you like your stir fry, or you can leave it out completely if serving to children. Either way, this stir fry recipe will still taste delicious. 

I chose to make this sauce both gluten and soy free because food allergies are becoming very commonplace, and finding a Stir Fry recipe that doesn’t contain gluten or soy can be difficult. So when ordering Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry from a restaurant isn’t an option due to allergies, now you have a delicious recipe that’s quick and easy to make at home!
