Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce 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 and stir-fry for about 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, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp.
5. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir everything together to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
6. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Make sure not to overcook the broccoli; it should remain crunchy for the best texture.
• Use a high smoke point oil like vegetable or canola oil for stir-frying.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken or tofu for the beef for a different protein option.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching your sodium intake.
• Add a teaspoon of chili paste for a spicy kick.
• Swap broccoli for bok choy or asparagus if you prefer.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or brown rice for a hearty base.
• Noodles, such as chow mein or udon, for a satisfying twist.
• A side of spring rolls for added crunch.
• A simple cucumber salad to balance the richness of the stir-fry.
