So we settled on a couch. It’s not the exact look we wanted in a couch, but when we sat on it, we pretty much drowned in it. In a good way. Did you ever see that show on PBS, The Big Comfy Couch? I only had 4 channels growing up, so I watched A LOT of that show. Probably until I was 17. Ok, 18. Along with Arthur. That show was the best. You know what I’m talking about. Anyways, the couch on that show is what it reminded me of when I sat down. Kind of. Minus the weird clown girl. I wonder what she’s doing with her life nowadays.
So I took some of your advice and I started watching House of Cards. And as soon as I started watching it, I noticed that a ton of the bloggers I follow on instagram are obsessed with it. So it got me excited. I’ve watched probably 7-8 episodes by now, fallen asleep in a couple, but I’m still not quite sure if I’m into it. I think it’s because politics confuse me. Mostly because I don’t give an eff about politics. But I’m trying to keep up and stick with it. I’m hoping it gets more suspenseful. I like suspense.
Anyone watch the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? Wonderful. Love it.
Anywho. I’ve started to settle in pretty well to this new apartment. It’s slowly but surely getting decorated and feeling more like a home. I just love it. But it’s just missing one thing: a French bulldog. I’ve wanted one for a while now, but had to wait for the right time. And I think you should sit on big decisions for a while. Like one of my tattoos. Should have sat on that thought for longer. Back to the point, we are looking for a little frenchie in Colorado to welcome into our home. Problem is, people tend to charge over $3,000 for French bulldogs here. And well, that’s ridiculous. I’m totally down to spend some money, but I’m not looking for a $6,000 show dog. Nope. Just a frenchie I can love, hang out at home with, talk to while I’m cooking, walk in my new neighborhood with, and make paleo dog treats for. I will love him, and kiss him, and hold him. But I first need to find a breeder in Colorado who charges less than $3,000. Oh the frustration.
Beef and Broccoli Cashew Stir Fry
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut aminos (do not use liquid aminos, it will make it incredibly salty)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 crowns of broccoli, cut into florets
- salt and pepper, to taste
- couple tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews
Instructions
- Whisk together coconut amines, orange juice, honey, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, arrowroot powder, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Place sliced flank steak in a shallow bowl and pour whisked mixture on top of the meat to cover. Place in fridge and let refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After meat has refrigerated, place a large pan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan when hot, then add broccoli florets. Sprinkle with a little salt and mix around in the pan to help crisp up. To make sure my broccoli gets soft, I use a teaspoon of water, add it to the pan and then cover to help steam the broccoli for just 1 minute.
- Once broccoli is cooked through to preference, remove from pan and set aside.
- Place pan back over high heat, add a little more coconut oil then add the meat and sauce directly to the hot pan, trying not to overcrowd the bottom of the pan. Cook meat until barely any pink remains, then add broccoli back to the pan, along with toasted cashews.
- Mix together and cook for 1 more minute. Serve!

That was amazing… had to sub apple juice since I had no oj around, and it was out of this world!! Hubby is a good sport, and reluctantly ok’d it even tho he isn’t a beef & broc fan. He loved it!!! Thanks for making wicked food, and having a funny as hell way of getting it out to us
Made this for dinner tonight and it was ridiculous! My husband and I both couldn’t get enough. Super easy and pretty quick too!
I just made this for dinner tonight and it’s so salty I can’t even bear to eat more than one bite. Did anybody else have this problem? I followed the recipe to the T.
did you use gluten free soy sauce, such as liquid aminos? those can tend to be much more salty than coconut amines
I love the recipe super easy but I think it was more on the sweet side for me. Next time I will use tablespoons of honey. I had it with cauliflower rice. Thank you for all your amazing recipes.
With all due respect , I love your recipes but I must admit I don’t understand your commentaries before recipes. Usually, I just skip over them and get to the recipe but this one about going out and buying a dog was not only annoying but very oft putting. It is no surprise you were bombarded with rescue stories and requests. Maybe you should have a separate blog for your musings?
No.
Holy MOLY. This was SO good Juli. I make your recipes a lot and they are always fabulous, but this is one of my favorite recipes I have ever tried. I love the flavors, the beef is so tender…yum! Thanks again for sharing your recipes (and life) with us.
This was so yummy! I nearly didn’t use freshly grated ginger because I had never used ginger root before but it made all the difference! I ended up leaving out the cashews and marinating the meat overnight and added bell peppers to the dish. Sooo good and super easy to make!
Can’t wait to try the recipe! Unfortunately, I have tried and tried to get into house of cards too but just couldn’t. Have you watched Breaking Bad? Seriously the absolute best show I have ever watched. The writing and characters are truly amazeball. Thanks for the great recipes!!!
Hey!
What is a good sub for arrow root powder!?
Will make this tonight 😀
tapioca flour
I made this last week and want to try it again – mine was so watery and I followed the recipe exactly. Is the sauce supposed to be watery or reduced down enough to it’s not?
it thickens up but you could always add tapioca or arrowroot to thicken it
