Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
A quick, delicious dinner that's both healthy and satisfying. This classic Chinese-inspired dish combines tender strips of beef with crisp broccoli in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak sliced thinly against the grain
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice your beef while it's still slightly frozen – this makes it easier to get those thin, restaurant-style strips. Let it thaw completely before cooking.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves completely. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add remaining oil. Toss in garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Pour in beef broth, cover, and steam for 2 minutes until broccoli is bright green but still crisp.
- Return beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly (about 2 minutes).
