Beef with Broccoli is a quick and flavorful stir-fry made with tender beef slices and crisp broccoli in a savory sauce. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s a better-than-takeout dish perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (or low-sodium)
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch, divided
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
  • Cooked rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), brown sugar, garlic, ginger, water or broth, and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Toss sliced beef with the remaining 1 tbsp cornstarch to coat lightly.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add broccoli to the same pan and stir-fry 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Return beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well and cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over rice if desired.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • Frozen broccoli works—just thaw slightly and reduce cooking time.
  • For extra vegetables, add bell peppers, mushrooms, or snow peas.
  • Make it gluten-free with tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
