Description

A delicious and easy recipe for beef and broccoli stir-fry, perfect served over steamed rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (for marinating beef)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for marinating beef)
  • 1 tbsp oil (for marinating beef)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for sauce)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp oil (for stir-frying)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp water (for steaming broccoli)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss beef with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp oil. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together beef broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan along with minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 2-3 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green.
  6. Return beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything with a glossy sheen.
  7. Serve immediately over steamed white rice.

Notes

  • This dish can be made with chicken or tofu instead of beef for a different variation.
  • For added flavor, consider marinating the beef longer or adding more fresh ginger.
