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
- 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.
- 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.
- Flip the beef and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- 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.
- Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles.
