Orange Ginger Steak Stir Fry with Broccoli
Take Out Fake-Out is what I call it. AND I’m in love. Gosh, I’m a sucker for take out food – love the tastes from all over the world BUT what I don’t like – is NOT knowing what ingredients are in the sauces.
Did you know?
There is a ton of added sugar and gluten. My gut tells me every time – and let’s just say it isn’t good. If you have been there – then YOU KNOW.
So, I’ve been on a mission to create meals like my favorite take out staples, at home with all the ingredients that I know.
Such a simple stir fry.
Starting with the steak. I used flank steak from Five Marys Farm, sliced thinly so its perfect for you to chew and not need a knife.
Marinating flank steak is the best way to prepare it – since it doesn’t have a lot of fat to break down.
This is a super simple stir fry.
Once you have the steak marinated, pan sauce made and veggie cut up – it’s all the stoves work now. With the addition of sesame oil, gluten free soy sauce, ginger and honey – well, don’t forget the garlic, sesame seeds and orange zest.
The flavors are great and with ingredients every pantry should have.

Ingredients
- 1 flank steak, cut in small strips
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour (or arrowroot works too)
- 1 small/medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 broccoli florets, cut into bite sized pieces
- 2–3 scallions, chopped

Marinade

- 2–3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 heaping tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 gluten free soy sauce

Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, add the sliced flank steak and marinade. Toss to combine. Refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, combine the fresh ginger, honey, orange zest, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Set aside.
- After the steak has been marinated, remove from refrigerator. Add the tapioca flour to the steak and mix to coat the steak. Heat a large cast iron pan or wok on high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan. When the pan is hot, add the steak and cook until just browned on the outside. Remove and place on a plate or in a bowl.
- Add the sliced onion to the hot pan. Sauté for 2 minutes or until they start to soften and brown. Add the broccoli. Cover and lower the heat to low. Let cook 2-4 minutes, depending on how cooked you like your broccoli.
- Remove lid and turn the heat up to high. Add the steak along with the ginger, honey and orange juice mixture. Combine everything – tongs work great. Add the scallions and more sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve right away with hot sauce on the side.
Enjoy with jasmine rice, rice noodles or alone.
Notes
To cut a flank steak. Lay it flat on a cutting board. Cut it in 3 equal sized large strips, against the grain. Using 1 large strip at a time, cut with the grain to form about 2-3 inch pieces.
Gluten free Soy Sauce (also called Tamari) can be replaced with Coconut Aminos to make this Soy free.
