Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound beef (sirloin or flank steak), sliced thin
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing the sirloin or flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until well combined.
Cooking the Beef
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced beef to the pan and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
Cooking the Broccoli
  1. In the same pan, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Combine and Sauce It Up
  1. Return the beef to the pan, then pour in the sauce. Stir everything together until well mixed and heated through, about another 2 minutes.
Serve
  1. Serve your Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry over a bed of fluffy cooked rice, and enjoy!

Notes

For variations, consider using chicken, tofu, or a mix of vegetables. For best results, prepare ingredients beforehand and keep an eye on the broccoli to maintain its crispness. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat with a splash of water to retain moisture.
