How to make Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
Step 1: Add a tbsp cornstarch and half a cup of water in a small mixing bowl. Stir well until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Step 2: Into the bowl, add ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, a tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Stir well until everything is incorporated. Set aside.
Step 3: Into bite-sized pieces, slice the broccoli and set aside.
Step 4: Against the grain, slice the flank steak into about 1/4-inch thin pieces. Set aside.
Step 5: Ready the skillet. Preheat it over medium heat. Add a tbsp olive oil. To the skillet, add in the broccoli florets and stir. Pour in about 2 tbsp water. Cover the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes until soft. Uncover and continue cooking until all the water is absorbed. Place the broccoli on a plate, then set aside.
Step 6: To the pan, add another tbsp olive oil. Adjust the heat to high, then add the beef in a single layer. Cook the beef for a couple of minutes until cooked through, stirring occasionally. You can simply scoop out the excess liquid from the meat and discard it.
Step 7: Adjust the heat to medium-low once the beef is cooked. Add the sauce mixture to the pan and stir. Continue to cook for a few minutes more until the sauce begins to bubble and has thickened. Stir in the broccoli, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step 8: Serve with a bowl of rice. Enjoy!
Notes:
For this recipe, use only low-sodium soy sauce.
With a sharp knife, thinly slice the meat against the grain.
