Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients

Gather everything before you start cooking.

Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the Beef

   In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

   ~10 min

2. 2

   Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce

   In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Set aside.

   ~5 min

3. 3

   Stir-Fry the Broccoli and Onion

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sliced yellow onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the onion is softened. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.

   ~4 min

4. 4

   Cook the Beef

   Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. The internal temperature of the beef should reach 145°F (63°C).

   ~6 min

5. 5

   Combine and Sauce

   Return the cooked broccoli and onion to the skillet with the beef. Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick whisk, then pour it over the beef and vegetables. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.

   ~2 min

6. 6

   Serve and Garnish

   Remove the stir-fry from the heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
