• Quick to prepare—ready in under 30 minutes!
• Flavor-packed with a savory sauce that complements the beef and broccoli.
• Customizable to suit your taste preferences.
• Healthy with lean beef and nutrient-rich vegetables.

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup beef broth or water
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. In a bowl, combine sliced beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the sliced onion for 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Stir in the broccoli florets and beef broth (or water). Cover the skillet and steam for about 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
6. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sesame oil and stir everything together, cooking for another 2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For even cooking, slice the beef against the grain into thin strips.
• Ensure your skillet or wok is hot enough before adding the beef to achieve a nice sear.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.

Easy Variations

• Swap out beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add a splash of oyster sauce or hoisin sauce for additional depth of flavor.
• Experiment with different vegetables based on the season or your preferences.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine or brown rice
• Noodles, such as lo mein or rice noodles
• A fresh cucumber salad for a crunchy contrast
• Egg rolls or spring rolls for a delightful appetizer

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.
