Easy Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
This Easy Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry is so easy to make and way better than take-out!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 head of broccoli (or about 2 cups of broccoli florets)
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (canola or vegetable is fine)
Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 cloves of garlic - minced
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon minced ginger (jarred is fine)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Cut your broccoli into florets and slice your flank steak as thinly as possible. I try to shoot for about ¼ of an inch. If you have trouble, try freezing your steak for about 15 minutes then slicing.
- Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until the cornstarch is dissolved then set aside.
- Heat your canola oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add your sliced steak and cook until browned on both sides.
- Lower the heat to medium and pour in the sauce and the broccoli. (If you like your broccoli more tender, you can steam it for a couple of minutes ahead of time...I always do this for my kids)
- Cook while stirring until the sauce slightly thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Turn off the heat and cover the pan for just about 2 minutes to steam the broccoli a little further if you prefer.
- Serve immediately over noodles or rice.
