Ingredients

• 12 oz rice noodles
• 16 oz extra firm tofu, cubed Before you prep it, swaddle the tofu in paper towels and place in a colander with a heavy weight on it for a few minutes before cooking to remove excess liquid.

2. While the noodles are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and brown the tofu cubes on all sides over high heat.
3. Mix all the remaining ingredients except the cornstarch in a bowl and whisk together to mix.
4. Lower the heat and add the sauce to the tofu. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated. Continue cooking for a couple more minutes, stirring the tofu frequently.

Recipes Cookbook - healthy beef and broccoli

healthy beef and broccoli |#Tacopastasalad #Coldpastasaladrecipes #Bbqpastasalad #Saladsforparties #Colddinners #Carlsbadcravings #Healthyasianrecipes #Beefandbroccolieasyhealthy #Healthydinnerrecipeswithbeef #Brocolibeefrecipe #Broccolibeefrecipehealthy #Cookingrecipes

Ingredients

• 3/4lb. lean steak (such as top sirloin, or loin tip) thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch*
• 1lb. broccolini (or broccoli), cut into 2” sections
• 1/2 cup low sodium gluten free tamari, coconut aminos, or soy sauce*
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
• 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
• 1/4–1/2 cup water, as desired
• olive oil or coconut oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine thinly sliced steak with arrowroot (or cornstarch) and a pinch of pepper. Toss to coat well.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add a few slices of steak (not touching each other) to the pan. Cook 60-90 seconds per side, then transfer to a clean plate or bowl. Repeat with remaining steak, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
3. When all the steak is cooked, add broccoli to the pan (again, if the pan is a bit dry, add a bit more oil). Cook 4-5 minutes, or until crisp-tender (cook longer if you like your broccoli softer).
4. While the broccoli is cooking, mix up your sauce by combining the coconut aminos/tamari, garlic, ginger, and pepper.
5. When broccoli is cooked through, transfer to plate/bowl with the steak. Pour sauce into the pan and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Return cooked broccoli and steak to the pan and stir to coat. The sauce should naturally thicken as it heats through and bubbles for a few minutes (3-5 minutes). If sauce is too thick, add a bit of water (or more coconut aminos/tamari).
6. Serve warm!
