Description

A quick and flavorful Chinese beef and broccoli stir-fry with tender slices of beef, crisp broccoli, and a savory garlic-ginger sauce—perfect over steamed rice.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak, sliced thin against the grain

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)

  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for marinade)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for marinade)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp rice wine or Shaoxing wine

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 1/4 cup water or beef broth

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • Steamed white rice, for serving

  • Optional: sesame seeds, green onions


Instructions

  1. Marinate beef in soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil for 15–30 minutes.

  2. Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

  3. Blanch broccoli for 1–2 minutes; drain.

  4. Heat oil in skillet. Stir-fry beef in batches until browned; remove.

  5. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Return beef to pan.

  6. Add broccoli and sauce. Toss to coat and cook 2–3 minutes until thickened.

  7. Serve over rice with optional garnishes.

Notes

Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt. Replace beef with tofu for vegetarian. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days.
