A quick and easy recipe for tender beef and crisp broccoli in a savory garlic-ginger soy sauce, just like your favorite takeout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and sesame oil. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the blanched broccoli to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the wok. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked beef to the wok and toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce.
  9. Serve immediately over steamed rice.

Notes

  • For extra tender beef, you can add 1 egg white to the marinade along with the soy sauce and cornstarch.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to your preference.
  • If you don’t have oyster sauce, you can substitute with an additional tablespoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of sugar.
