Quick Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Share it :

Intro:
This beef and broccoli stir-fry is a fast, flavorful, and healthy dinner idea that comes together in just 25 minutes! With tender beef slices, crisp broccoli, and a savory garlic-ginger soy sauce, it’s the perfect Asian-inspired meal for busy weeknights.

📋 Ingredients:

For the Stir-Fry:

1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

For the Sauce:

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
Black pepper to taste

🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together:
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp brown sugar (if using)
Set aside — this will be your stir-fry sauce.

Step 2: Cook the Broccoli

Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
Blanch the broccoli florets for 1–2 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

✅ Tip: Blanching helps keep the broccoli vibrant and crisp in the stir-fry.

Step 3: Sear the Beef

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
Add the sliced beef in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until just browned.
Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Sauté Aromatics

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
Stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Return the beef to the pan, along with the blanched broccoli.
Pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce.
Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.

Step 6: Serve

Serve immediately over steamed white rice, brown rice, or noodles.
Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

✅ Tips for Success:

Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
For low-sodium options, use reduced-sodium soy sauce.
Add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for variety.
