There is something so satisfying about a quick stir fry at the end of a busy day. This beef and broccoli dish is a staple in my kitchen because it comes together in minutes and uses ingredients I almost always have on hand.

My family loves how the sauce coats the tender beef and crisp broccoli just right. I usually serve this over a fluffy bed of brown rice to soak up all that extra flavor.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Cooked brown rice for serving

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl to create the stir fry sauce.
2
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.
3
Add the beef strips to the pan and cook until browned on all sides, then remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
4
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan and toss in the broccoli florets with a splash of water, covering the pan for two minutes to steam them until tender crisp.
5
Return the cooked beef to the pan and pour the sauce over the mixture.
6
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for one or two minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats everything beautifully.
7
Serve immediately over warm brown rice.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you want a little extra heat, feel free to sprinkle some red pepper flakes over your bowl before serving.
