Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
5. Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your beef is thinly sliced for quick cooking and tenderness.
• Use a high heat to achieve a nice stir-fry sear without overcooking the vegetables.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.

Easy Variations

• Swap the beef sirloin for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein option.
• Experiment with sauces by adding hoisin or teriyaki sauce for a unique twist.
• Incorporate additional vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine or brown rice for a complete meal.
• Noodles, such as rice noodles or egg noodles, for a different texture.
• A side salad with ginger dressing for a fresh complement.
