Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 4 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until the beef is well coated and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, remaining soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Return the beef and broccoli to the skillet. Toss to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Drizzle with sesame oil, give it one last toss, and serve the stir-fry over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For the most tender beef, slice it thinly against the grain.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef; it helps achieve a nice sear.
  • Adjust the sauce ingredients to your taste; add more soy sauce for saltiness or oyster sauce for richness.
  • If you prefer extra veggies, consider adding bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots.

Easy Variations

  • Swap beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein source.
  • Use quinoa or cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice for a healthier option.
  • Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or hoisin for a unique flavor twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed dumplings for a delightful appetizer.
  • A side of crispy spring rolls to complement the meal.
  • Simple stir-fried noodles for a heartier option.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave until warmed through or stir-fry in a pan for a few minutes to revive the flavors.
