Instructions
Make Sauce: Combine 1 cup chicken broth, ½ cup coconut aminos, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon garlic, ½ tablespoon ginger and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, uncovered.
Sear Steak: Meanwhile, bring a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat and add 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Once pan is hot, add strips of steak to the hot pan so they are all laying flat in a single layer, without touching (work in batches, if needed). Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes per side and then flip, cooking 1-2 minutes on the other side as well. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Sauté: Using the same pan (don't clean it out) add 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons garlic and move around the pan on medium-high heat, about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 8 ounces water chestnuts, carrots, and celery. Move around the pan allowing them to sauté, about 5 minutes.
Mushrooms + Onion: Add sliced mushrooms and onions. Stir to combine with other veggies and allow to cook an additional 3-5 minutes.
Thicken Sauce: Add ¾ teaspoon tapioca starch to the simmering stir fry sauce and use a whisk to combine. Continue whisking and the sauce will start to thicken slightly.
Combine: Add the steak back to the cast iron skillet, along with as much stir fry sauce as you want and toss to combine.
Serve: Enjoy over your rice of choice!
Notes
Extra Stir Fry Sauce: some people like a lot and some don't. Leftover sauce can either be frozen for next time or save it in the fridge for later use!
Frozen Vegetables: option to use frozen veggies in place of fresh, if that is what you have on hand! Fresh will taste the best, but sometimes frozen is all you have.
