Ingredients

– 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
– ½ cup beef broth or water
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooked rice, for serving


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Beef and Broccoli Recipe:

1. Prepare the Beef: Slice the flank steak (or sirloin) against the grain into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Add the beef and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Blanch the Broccoli: In a pot of boiling water, blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes. Drain and set them aside.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to do this in batches.
6. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the beef broth (or water) and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for a minute.
8. Add Broccoli: Return the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the broccoli and beef in the sauce.
9. Thicken the Sauce: Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked rice.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have an incredible Easy Beef and Broccoli dish ready to wow your taste buds.
