Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil, divided
1 lb fresh broccoli, cut into approximately 6 cups of florets
2 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 tsp grated garlic (about 3 cloves)
1/2 cup hot water
6 tbsp soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
3 tbsp packed light brown sugar
1.5 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp water for thinning sauce if needed
Instructions
1-Getting started with this Beef And Broccoli recipe: First, begin by cooking your white rice, as it takes the longest and sets the base for this hearty dish.
2-Next: freeze the steak for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier, then thinly slice it against the grain for that tender bite everyone loves.
3-Whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients: until the sugar fully dissolves, and set it aside for later.
4-Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet: over medium heat, then sautΓ© the broccoli for 4-5 minutes, partially covered, until itβs bright green and crisp-tender; add 2 tbsp water before covering if you want it softer. Once done, remove the broccoli from the pan.
5-Increase the heat to high: add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, and cook the beef in a single layer for about 2 minutes per side until itβs cooked through.
6-Pour in the sauce: reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
7-Return the broccoli to the pan: stir everything together, and adjust the sauce with 1-2 tbsp water if it needs thinning.
8-Serve it: Serve it over the rice and garnish with sesame seeds for a finishing touch that makes the dish pop.
