This orange beef and broccoli is going to knock your socks off for three reasons, and here they are:
Can you say easyeasyeasy? It’s easy.
According to Grandpa, it’s healthy. (But really, it kinda is.)

{LIGHT} ORANGE BEEF AND BROCCOLI
Prep time:

Total time:
Serves: 4
Recipe Modified from: pinchofyum
Ingredients
- juice of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Sans J soy sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth
- ⅓ cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 lb. flank steak, very thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 head broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Mix the first 6 ingredients, whisking until the cornstarch is dissolved. Boil the broccoli for just a few minutes, until tender crisp. The broccoli will cook a little more once you add it in with the sauce, so make sure not to boil it for too long.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steak and garlic, draining off extra fat after a few minutes. Flip the pieces until each piece is cooked through and the meat is browned.
- Add the sauce to the pan and stir for 1 minute until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in broccoli. Serve over rice and garnish with orange zest and/or scallions.
