Shredded Beef & Broccoli

Stew/Kabob Beef Cubes

A clean, nutrient-rich spin on a takeout favorite: grass-fed kabob cubes slow-braised in bone broth, seared in cooking tallow, and paired with crisp broccoli. Flavor-packed, protein-dense, and easily made gluten-free (with tamari) — perfect over white rice.

Ingredients (Makes ~6–8 servings)

Main Ingredients

• 2 pounds of our beef stew/kabob cubes
• 2–3 tablespoons cooking tallow (for searing and broccoli)
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• white sesame seeds, for garnish
• Green onion

For the Marinade

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

For the Sauce

• 2 tablespoons grated ginger
• 5 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  
• 1 cup reserved broth from cooked beef
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• ¾ cup soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef
   Whisk together marinade ingredients. Add beef cubes, coat well, and let sit at least an hour. 
2. Sear the Beef
   Heat cooking tallow in a large cast iron or skillet over medium-high. Sear kabob cubes on all sides until browned.
3. Slow/Pressure Cook
   Transfer seared beef into a slow cooker or pressure cooker. Add enough bone broth to mostly cover the cubes.
   1. Slow cooker: 6–7 hours on low, until fork tender.
   2. Pressure cooker: 35–40 minutes on high pressure, natural release.
4. Make the Sauce
   In a bowl, whisk together ginger, garlic, brown sugar, tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos), cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
5. Cook the Broccoli
   While beef is cooking, heat a little cooking tallow in a skillet. Stir-fry broccoli 5–6 minutes until tender-crisp. 
6. Shred Beef
   Once your beef is fork tender, take out and shred. Scoop about a cup of broth out of your pressure/slow cooker and add to sauce.
7. Finish the Dish
   Add your shredded beef, then sauce, to your broccoli skillet and cook on medium high for about 5 minutes, stirring until well coated and heated through. Now is the time to add any additional flavor you may want (extra soy sauce, more garlic or ginger, etc.)
8. Serve
   Spoon generously over bowls of white rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds & chopped green onion, and enjoy.
