Description
A quick and delicious beef and broccoli stir fry featuring tender beef and fresh broccoli in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound flank steak (cut into thin 1-inch pieces)
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup cold water
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 6 cups broccoli florets (bite-size)
Instructions
- Place the cornstarch, black pepper, and steak slices into a large Ziploc bag and seal it. Shake the bag to coat the meat evenly with the cornstarch.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the stir fry sauce ingredients until combined.
- Get everything ready on the counter beside the stove, stir fry’s cook fast! Get a large bowl ready beside the stove for the broccoli after it’s cooked.
- Heat your wok over medium heat until it starts lightly smoking, and then add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring constantly to avoid burning, until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to the large bowl.
- Add another tablespoon or two of the vegetable oil and once it is hot, shake any excess cornstarch off of the beef and add it to the pan.
- Cook the beef, stirring constantly until the beef is almost cooked through.
- Return the broccoli to the pan then pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from the heat and serve over rice or your favorite noodles.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately while the broccoli is still crisp.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the stir fry such as bell peppers or carrots.
