Description

A quick and easy recipe for Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry that is perfect for a family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the sliced flank steak by combining soy sauce and cornstarch in a medium bowl, then toss the beef until well coated. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
  3. Flip the beef and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
  5. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the beef broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Return the beef to the pan, tossing it with the vegetables and sauce until well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles.
