Make a healthier, quick Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry right at home. This recipe delivers that savory takeout flavor you crave for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional, for deeper flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain well.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, oyster sauce (if using), and brown sugar.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook quickly until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove beef and set aside.
  5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 1 minute.
  7. Return the cooked beef and the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything to coat evenly in the sauce.
  8. Remove from heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve immediately over rice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the beef for longer.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, add another teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of cold water to the simmering sauce.
