Beef In Broccoli Recipe
Tender slices of beef stir-fried with crisp broccoli in a savory sauce—your favorite Beef In Broccoli Recipe is here: quick, homemade, and oh-so-healthy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
- 4 cups broccoli florets about 1 large head; pick firm, dark-green crowns
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce substitute tamari for gluten-free
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce optional but adds depth
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or honey for velvety sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add the sliced flank steak, toss until every piece is coated, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, then add broccoli florets for 1 minute—just until they’re bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking.
- Heat oil in a large skillet, stir in garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant—about 20 seconds.
Notes
I learned the hard way that slicing beef across the grain makes all the difference—those tender bites will melt in your mouth. Also, don’t skip the ice bath for broccoli; it keeps that snap and color. If your sauce feels thin, mix a little more cornstarch with water and swirl it in at the very end.
