Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 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 cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets to the pan, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
5. Return the beef to the pan along with the beef broth. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef is cooked through.
6. Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry over a bed of warm cooked brown rice. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and flavor.
• Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the beef to achieve a nice sear.

Easy Variations

• For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or Sriracha to the sauce.
• Substitute chicken or tofu for the beef to cater to different dietary preferences.
• Use quinoa or cauliflower rice instead of brown rice for a low-carb option.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed dumplings for an extra treat.
• A light cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Miso soup to start off the meal.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy bite.
