Beef and Broccoli is a classic stir-fry dish known for its savory and rich flavors. Tender beef is sautéed with vibrant broccoli florets in a delicious sauce, creating the perfect combination of protein and vegetables.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb beef (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
    3 cups broccoli florets
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tablespoon ginger, grated
    For the sauce:
    ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
    2 tablespoons oyster sauce
    2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    ½ cup beef broth (or water)
    1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
    Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, beef broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced beef and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked broccoli to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is well-coated.
  6. Transfer the Beef and Broccoli to a serving dish. Serve over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lighter variation, replace beef with chicken breast or thighs.
  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for more color and crunch.
  • If you like spice, add red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers to the sauce.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce and make sure the oyster sauce is gluten-free.
  • This dish is versatile; use flank steak, ribeye, or sirloin for different textures and flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet with some water or broth.
