Beef and Broccoli Recipe

Chinese · Main course · 25 min total

A classic Chinese takeout favorite made at home with tender beef, crisp broccoli, and a savory garlic-ginger sauce. Quick to prepare and full of flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, beef broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Slice flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
5. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Return beef to the skillet. Pour the sauce over everything and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
7. Serve immediately over steamed rice.

Tips

• For tender beef, freeze the steak for 15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut thin slices.
• Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
