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!

Made this last night. OMG i cant get enough of this dish!!!! This is truly flavourful. I marinated the beef overnight.
Thank you!
This was incredibly delicious. Will definitely make this again!! Thank you for all of your recipes, I’ve not had a bad one yet and don’t expect to!!!!
Made this for dinner. It was a tad salty cause as noted above I made the mistake of using liquid brags not coconut aminos BUT even with that my husband said it was “the best stir fry you’ve made in 5 years!” Will definitely by making this again. Thank you Juli for being such a great resource and tool in trying to eat healthy!
Wow! This is an awesome recipe!!! I love it! Thanks so much Juli for what you do!
yay! glad you liked it!
I make this for dinner at least 2 nights as week and the leftovers are great for lunch! I’m no cook…in fact I’m a terrible cook but I was able to make this and my husband LOVES it! We are always pretty up and down with our eating but always try to get back to Paleo and when I’m looking for meal ideas your website is always the first place I go. You have been my go-to for quick meal ideas for years! Thank you for sharing your recipes! You make eating healthy a lot easier!!
awesome, Kolby! so glad to hear it!
I made this recipe last night and it was really yummy! I was honestly surprised by how sweet it was though. I ended up mixing a spoonful of almond butter into my bowl and loved it that way. I think next time I will use some sesame oil for salty and savoriness. I also used steak tips because I didnt have flank and it was really good. I loved the way the broccoli was cooked and might do that again just as a side dish. Thanks for the yummy recipes.
A perfect weeknight meal that comes together easily and tastes great.

Hi Juli,
Thank you for the recipes! We love them. I’m a little confused on the Liquid vs coconut aminos. The Coconut Aminos I have are liquid. Is that okay? Sorry, I’m still learning that everything we used to eat as kids is bad for us in real life! I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing!
yes. there is a brand called liquid aminos. but coconut aminos is liquid, too. those two different brands just taste completely different
Ha. I’m an idiot. I’ve been making this recipe for a few years and I love it but I always thought it was so salty. Missed that minor detail about not using liquid aminos. I love salt, so I never minded it–but never made it for other people because I REALLY love salt…so much that most people would not have enjoyed that salty taste.
Now that I know of my mistake–I remade it and shared. Either way, the recipe rocks.
