  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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 it’s 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 it’s 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.
