Easy Beef and Broccoli (Best Sauce!)
This dish features tender strips of beef and fresh broccoli, all enveloped in a savory sauce that’s simply irresistible.
### Ingredients
- 1 pound of flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the sliced flank steak. In a bowl, toss the beef with cornstarch, a bit of soy sauce, and salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
- In another bowl, whisk together the beef broth, remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for just 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add a splash more oil if necessary, and toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Next, add the broccoli florets to the pan, stir-frying for about 2 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Add the beef back to the pan along with the sauce you prepared earlier. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, complemented by a side of fluffy rice or noodles.
This Easy Beef and Broccoli is sure to satisfy your cravings without taking up too much of your time in the kitchen. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and the satisfaction of a home-cooked meal!
