Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Tips for the Best Results

• Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
• Adjust the level of sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar.
• For extra flavor, marinate the beef in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein.
• Add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for added color and nutrition.
• Spice it up with a splash of sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine or brown rice.
• Lo mein or rice noodles for a heartier meal.
• A simple cucumber salad for a refreshing side.
• Edamame for an extra protein boost.
