Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cups Cooked brown rice (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam for 3 minutes until it turns bright green and slightly tender.
Uncover the skillet and return the cooked beef to the pan. Stir everything together.
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli. Toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle with red chili flakes for a spicy kick, if desired.
Serve the beef and broccoli stir fry immediately over cooked brown rice or enjoy it on its own for a low-carb option.
