Description
A savory stir-fry combining tender beef slices with crisp broccoli in a rich soy sauce marinade, perfect for quick weeknight meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef (sirloin or flank), thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Mix the marinade: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, and ginger. Stir well and set aside.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Brown the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- Cook the broccoli: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli is vibrant and tender.
- Combine beef and sauce: Return the beef to the pan, pouring the prepared sauce over everything. Stir well, making sure the beef and broccoli are coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and bubble.
- Serve: Plate the Beef and Broccoli over a bed of cooked rice, ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving.
