Busy School Night Dinners
We will be gearing up for school in just three short weeks. Laid back summer days are about to be a thing of the past, much to my kids’ extreme disappointment.
School means not only busy days but busy nights as well. Between homework, sports, and activities…there isn’t enough time to make a big family dinner. You are going to love how easy this gluten free stir fry is to make.
On busy school nights, it is all about quick and easy dinners like this gluten free stir fry recipe.

What vegetables are best for a stir-fry?
You can add any vegetables to this stir-fry. Pick your child’s favorites and just toss them into the pan 🙂
You don’t need a fancy wok to make this easy. I used these awesome non-stick pans which gets really hot in order to sear the meat.
Gluten Free Stir Fry Sauce
It is so easy to make a homemade Asian Gluten free stir fry sauce!
The most important thing is you need to read labels to make sure your ingredients are gluten free.
Hoisin sauce is not always gluten free. Wok Mei makes delicious gluten free Asian sauces, as do most Dynasty sauces. You can also make your own with this easy Hoisin Sauce Recipe.
(*NOTE DO NOT buy Lee Kum Kee. These contain wheat!!)
Tamari is a wonderful wheat free, gluten free soy sauce that is really popular in gluten free cooking. Tamari has the same flavors as soy sauce as both are made with soy. The main difference is that tamari is made without wheat.

My husband and I love the flavors in this dish and have made it a few times already. We don’t use any noodles, we enjoy it by itself.
Sandi Gaertner
I am so glad you like this recipe Joanie…my kids like it over rice too 🙂
Gladine
I added some ground ginger to round out the flavor, and sliced carrots for added color. This turned out pretty good.
Sandi Gaertner
I bet the ginger was perfect with this recipe. Thank you so much for stopping by to let me know you liked it 🙂
Natalie
I often make fried beef and broccoli in a very time-saving way for my meals, and I just eat only them.
also I’m not in gluten-free so it’s easier for me xD
But adding more ingredients like your recipes makes it really more flavoured.
I’m gonna try it for sure!!!
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much Natalie 🙂
Debra C.
I love a great stir fry and broccoli beef is always a favorite. Are you serving yours with glass noodles? What a delicious complete meal!
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Debra, thanks for asking about the noodles. I used a sweet potato noodle that is very common in Asian cooking. I found it at Nob Hill (owned by Raleys.)
Abeer Rizvi
I have never used orange juice in my stir fry but I am totally trying it next time… I bet it adds a nice subtle zesty flavor.
Madi
