Ingredients
- 1 pound of beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of beef broth or water
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
- While the beef is marinating, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the beef is brown and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the beef broth (or water), oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the beef and broccoli to the pan and stir everything together for another minute to heat through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper if desired. Serve hot over cooked rice for a complete meal.
This Easy Beef and Broccoli recipe comes together in about 20 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a weeknight dinner. Enjoy the incredible flavors and the convenience of a homemade meal that tastes like it came from a restaurant!
