Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, flipping halfway through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli. Stir well to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Slice the beef thinly and against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- For extra flavor, marinate the beef in a bit of soy sauce and ginger for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Don’t overcook the broccoli; it should be bright green and still have a bit of crunch.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for variety.
Easy Variations
- Swap out beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein.
- Experiment with different sauces, such as teriyaki or hoisin, to change the flavor profile.
- Add nuts like cashews or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Steamed jasmine or basmati rice
- Noodles such as chow mein or udon
- A side salad with a simple vinaigrette
- Egg rolls or spring rolls for a complete meal
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through or microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot.
