Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup water

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. Start by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef sirloin in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Return the beef to the skillet, then pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir to combine everything and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry over the cooked brown rice. Enjoy!

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 nutrition.
• Adjust the soy sauce based on your taste preference—add more for a saltier flavor or less for a lighter dish.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken or tofu for the beef for a different protein option.
• Use quinoa or cauliflower rice instead of brown rice for a low-carb alternative.
• Add a splash of chili sauce for a spicy kick!

What to Serve With It

• Steamed dumplings for an appetizer.
• A crisp Asian-style salad with sesame dressing.
• A side of pickled vegetables for added crunch.
