Made in a single pan, tender beef strips are cooked with fresh broccoli in a savory sauce, offering a nutritious and delicious Asian-inspired dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef strips or easy beef cut like sirloin or flank steak
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional for richer flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by thinly slicing the beef and setting aside. Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl to create a marinade. Toss the beef slices in the marinade to tenderize and flavor the meat.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender yet crisp.
  4. Return the cooked beef to the pan with the broccoli. Pour in beef broth or water, and stir well. Cook everything together for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and flavors meld.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Slicing the beef thinly ensures quick cooking and tenderness.
  • Use fresh broccoli for the best texture—frozen works in a pinch but may be softer.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 15 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  • Adjust soy sauce and oyster sauce to taste, balancing saltiness and sweetness.
