How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry over cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds.
Tips for the Best Results
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to achieve a good sear.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
Easy Variations
- Swap flank steak for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein option.
- Use a different sauce, such as teriyaki or a homemade stir-fry sauce, to switch up the flavor.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
What to Serve With It
- Steamed dumplings for a delightful side.
- A simple cucumber salad to add freshness.
- Egg rolls for an extra crunch.
- A light miso soup to round out the meal.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through. If the stir-fry seems dry, add a splash of water or soy sauce while reheating.
