Takeout Beef and Broccoli is one of those dishes I crave on a regular basis. If you are one that longs for a good Chinese meal, continue reading on for a bomb recipe that is honestly better than the take out version. Oh, and the good news is….IT’S HEALTHY, Whole 30, Paleo clean eating, gluten and dairy free! Eat, enjoy and feel satisfied without feeling the “after” guilt. Convinced yet? This meal can be on your kitchen table tonight in less than 30 minutes.Once you start turning your favorite comfort food dishes into healthy versions, that’s when maintaining a healthy lifestyle truly happens. Sure it takes a little more effort than just calling in a to-go order and picking it up, but it is so worth it. You should prioritize your health and put forth the effort to get the results you are striving for. Roll up your sleeves, slice you up some steak, and do the dang thang!If you have not used or heard of coconut aminos then I am ashamed, you MUST buy some today…. It will change your life. It tastes identical to soy sauce and in my opinion, actually tastes better.  The key to this dish is making sure you are using high-quality coconut aminos, and tapioca flour. These two items are identical substitutes for the ingredients in the traditional dish.

This dish is a “go-to” anytime. It is great as a Friday night dish or can be whipped up Sunday after church, it literally takes no time. There is never a bad time for Chinese, am I right? If you don’t like it spicy, feel free to omit the crushed red pepper flakes. It does add a little heat, which in my opinion makes it tastes amazing! Enjoy, friends!
