Beef And Broccoli Stir-Fry

Beef And Broccoli Stir-Fry

It’s your

favorite take-out dish, but made exactly to your liking. And just like the classic Chinese-American dish, this recipe works great as leftovers when reheated in a microwave or over the stove. If you want to freshen it up, just chop up and throw in whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, like onions, bell peppers, or even water chestnuts.

Ingredients

You'll Need:

  • 1 lb top sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flake (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Lemons and Lime

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the sirloin steak, soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and ginger until the meat is evenly covered in the marinade.
  2. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Dump in the meat and marinade and sear each side until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the meat to a clean bowl and set aside.
  5. Place the broccoli into the hot skillet and sauté until the broccoli has just started to brown, about 1 minute.
  6. Pour the water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let it steam for 2 minutes, until the broccoli has softened.
  7. Remove the lid and toss in the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  8. Add the steak back into the pan and stir to combine.
  9. Remove from heat and serve on a bed of brown rice.
  10. Enjoy!

    "I make this all the time. Instead of mixing the ingredients in a bowl, I put them in a gallon ziplock and just dump everything in there, seal, and mix. It works great and I marinate for 1 hour instead of 20 minutes."

    "I used flour instead of cornstarch and added red bell peppers and mushrooms. Next time I will not add so much ginger, and I will drain the broccoli before adding the stark back in again. Great for people like me that are learning to cook!"

    "I added water chestnuts, onion, and used chili sesame oil. Turned out great! There was some extra water I had to drain after the steaming process but other than that was very easy"

    "This turned out great when I made it! Only slight compliant is that I’d have appreciated a bit more sauce (but that’s just me) so I think I’ll tweak that aspect of the recipe when I make this again, which I for sure will!"

    "I used carrots and baby corn instead of broccoli and added roasted sesame 👌🏼 If you want more sauce, just double the marinade and cover the beef when you’re cooking it."

    "Great recipe but the ginger was a tad overbearing on the taste. Wont use so much next time. I also added garlic salt to the marinade."
