Equipment

  • 1 Wok or Large Skillet
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Small bowl
  • 1 Measuring Spoon/Cup
  • 1 Wooden Spoon or Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Beef flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups Broccoli cut into florets
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce optional
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece Fresh Ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil for cooking
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice or Noodles optional for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • 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.
