Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Make the Stir Fry Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (optional), sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Cook the Beef:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
Stir-Fry the Broccoli:
In the same pan, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until tender yet crisp.
Combine the Beef and Sauce:
Return the beef to the pan with the broccoli. Add the garlic and ginger, then pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is coated.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the stir fry over rice, noodles, or on its own. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
Choosing the Right Beef: For the best results, use a tender cut of beef like flank steak, sirloin, or even skirt steak.
Don’t Overcook the Broccoli: Stir-fry the broccoli until it’s bright green and still crisp for the best texture.
Vary the Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables, like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots, to make this dish even more colorful and nutritious.
Low-Carb Option: Serve this stir fry with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb alternative to regular rice.
