What makes this HEALTHY Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
So how did I make this healthier version of beef and broccoli stir fry?
- I switched out the soy sauce for coconut aminos.
- I use orange juice as a sweetener instead of regular sugar.
- I use arrowroot instead of cornstarch.
- I use ghee (you can use olive oil if you want) instead of butter.

This was really really good! I think it had a nice depth of flavor. Added some zucchini because we had it in the fridge. Kids inhaled it. Will definitely make again!
