Simple Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
This beef and broccoli skillet meal is a simple weeknight dinner the whole family will love. And bonus, it all cooks in one pan! Our broccoli at the farm is finally harvestable after what has felt like a long spring sitting in the ground. The crowns have finally bulked up and they look absolutely beautiful. We picked 160 crowns of broccoli today for our CSA members and reserved a few just for our family. My kiddos loved this meal almost as much as me and my husband.
This meal all came together in one of my new favorite kitchen pans from Ceraflame. Ceraflame is a small, family owned company based out of Brazil that is dedicated to making the highest quality, non-toxic, 100 % ceramic cookware. This ensures that no unwanted chemicals get leached into our food

Hopefully you all get a chance to make this meal in a new pan soon! And if you’re using a simple cast iron pan that works great too. Either way, a one pan meal is a major win in the dishes department. Happy cooking everyone!
Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Serves: 4
- 1 Tablespoon ghee or beef tallow
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 1 Tablespoon ghee or tallow
- 1 Pound Ground Beef
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon unrefined salt
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic, minced,
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 Tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 Tablespoons cold water
- handful of minced cilantro for serving
- cooked white rice for serving
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Heat the ghee or tallow in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the broccoli and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the broccoli is bright green, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside in a large bowl. Add the beef to the same skillet and use a wooden spoon to break up the meat a bit. Cook, stirring often until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Stir all sauce ingredients together in a measuring cup (beef broth, coconut aminos, maple syrup garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes). Whisk until combined. Stir the arrowroot into the cold water to form a slurry and set aside.
- Return the broccoli and onions to the skillet with the beef. Add the sauce ingredients and pour in the arrowroot slurry. Give everything a good stir. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened. About 5 minutes. Season the sauce with addition salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over rice with minced cilantro
