Ingredients
- 1 lb beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the beef slices with cornstarch, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prep your broccoli.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the beef is almost cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets and a splash of water (to steam them a bit). Stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
- Return the beef to the pan and pour in the beef broth. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
- If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle some sesame oil over the top for extra flavor.
- Serve your delicious beef and broccoli with a side of hot, steamed rice, and enjoy!
