2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of sesame oil and cook the broccoli for 5–8 minutes until tender and bright green. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil and cook the sliced flank steak for about 2–3 minutes on each side until medium rare. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine the cooked broccoli and gluten-free noodles with the steak in the skillet. Pour in the broth and sauce mixture. Stir well and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. If you like a little heat, drizzle some chili oil on top!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your Healthy Beef + Broccoli Noodles turn out perfectly:

• For the best flavor, let the flank steak marinate in the sauce for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.
• If you prefer a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of coconut milk for a twist on this dish.
• Make sure not to overcook the broccoli; you want it to be tender but still vibrant and crunchy!

How to Serve

This dish is perfect on its own, but you can also serve it with:

• A side of steamed rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
• Fresh salad to balance the flavors.
• Additional garnishes like crushed peanuts or cilantro for a fresh touch.
