This is a meal I make almost every week because it’s quick, satisfying, and packed with flavour. Juicy slices of beef are tossed with tender-crisp broccoli, all coated in a rich, garlicky gluten free sauce. Not only does it rival anything you’d get from takeout, or a jar it is fresher and with very few ingredients.
At Laura Bakes Gluten Free, our kitchen is very much an ingredient household—and that doesn’t just come from baked goods, but from everyday cooking too. This beef and broccoli has become one of Chris’s favourite dinners. Plus, I love how it comes together in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients I always have on hand. This is served over fluffy rice and it’s a complete weekday dinner that everyone at the table enjoys.
A Weekly Favourite in Our House
At Laura Bakes Gluten Free, recipes aren’t just about desserts and baked goods, they’re about creating meals that fit into everyday life. Our home is very much an “ingredient household,” where gluten free cooking, and baking go hand in hand. This beef and broccoli is proof that gluten free doesn’t mean complicated or time-consuming or a jar of sauce with a hundred ingredients.
It’s a dish I make almost every week, and it’s quickly become one of our absolute favourites for a week weekday dinner. I love that it comes together so quickly on busy nights, and he loves that it tastes just as good (if not better!) than takeout.
