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!

I made this recipe last night with the gluten free soy sauce since I didn’t have coconut aminos on hand. With the soy sauce it was WAY too salty. I ended up removing about half the sauce and then adding a lot of water and re-thickening it. However, once I did that, it was DELISH. A hit at my family dinner 🙂 I’ll make it again, with maybe half as much soy.
I made this with tamari (non gluten soy sauce) using 1 C as directed and it was way too salty to eat. I will try it again using coconut amino instead.
try using coconut aminos next time and you won’t run into this issue
Hi Juli,
I tried this again using the coconut aminos and it was great! I also included thinly sliced carrots for color.
Thank you so much!
yay, glad to hear it!
I made this dish tonight and it was about the SALTIEST dish ever. WIth one cup of soy sauce or braggs aminos it tastes as if I am drinking it straight from the bottle. What did I do wrong ?
it’s using the brags aminos. i used coconut aminos and haven’t had that issue
This recipe… I was craving something deliciously Asian, and this delivered. I only had 1 broccoli crown, so I tossed in a couple carrots and a pepper and wasn’t sorry. Thanks again for another amazing recipe, Juli. Sooo good!
glad to hear it!!
Hi! I can’t find coconut Aminos in Dubai, can I use Tamari sauce instead? And is the quantity the same? I am not 100% paleo so Tamari is ok for me. Thanks a lot, love all your recipes x
Yes and yes!
I just made this for supper and it was divine! Satisfied my Chinese food craving 🙂 for some reason though it turned out on the salty side. I think next time I won’t salt the broccoli when I cook it. Thank you for the great recipes, so far every one of your recipes that I have tried have been right up my alley.
This is so good! I think next time I will lay off the ginger a bit, I may or may not have put a tad too much! But still very good!
Amazing! My kiddos who have sworn they can’t stand broccoli cheer when I tell them we are having beef and broccoli for dinner. One of our top favorite family meals. Thank you!
Made this tonight, my 7th day of my first Whole30. It was wonderful, Juli! I even left out the honey because I’m trying to be squeaky clean and it was still fantastic. Served over cauliflower rice. My toddler ate tons of it… that makes it a total keeper. Love browsing your recipes… thought doing a Whole30 was going to be tough but I’m totally hooked. Down almost 5lbs already and not looking back!
Just tried this for the first time. I am not sure coconut aminos are available in Ireland and I substituted arrowroot powder for cornflour as I couldn’t get that either. This was a gorgeous meal and one I will do regularly. Thanks for the recipe.
