Recipe Details

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch and a tablespoon of soy sauce. Let it sit for 10 minutes to tenderize the beef.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

4. Cook the Broccoli: In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, continuing to stir for another minute until fragrant.

5. Combine and Serve: Return the beef to the pan with the broccoli. Pour in the prepared sauce and add the water. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients well. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

6. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if using. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.

Final Tips

• Beef Choice: Opt for tender cuts like flank steak or sirloin for the best results. Ensure they are sliced thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

• Broccoli Tip: To keep broccoli vibrant and crisp, avoid overcooking. It should be tender yet still have a slight bite.

• Avoiding Sauce Burn: Stir constantly when adding the sauce to prevent burning and ensure even coating.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry, a perfect blend of flavors that you’ll want to make again and again!
