Description
A quick recipe for beef and broccoli stir fry made with a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinating)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for marinating)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water (slurry)
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green. Add 1/4 cup of beef broth, cover, and steam for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, brown sugar, and oyster sauce. Pour this mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Toss everything together until the beef is coated in the sauce.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, slice the flank steak when it is partially frozen.
- You can substitute low-sodium soy sauce if desired.
- Serve over steamed white or brown rice.
