Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry is a classic Chinese-American dish known for its savory and slightly sweet sauce coating tender strips of beef and fresh broccoli. It’s a quick and easy meal, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
For the Beef Marinade:
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
For the Stir-Fry:
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil for the marinade. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce – soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
- Add the broccoli to the wok and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.
- Return the beef to the wok and pour in the sauce. Stir-fry everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
- Serve the Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry hot with steamed rice.
