Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 250 grams Broccoli florets
- 60 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 180 ml Water
- 15 ml Vegetable oil
- 2 whole Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 5 grams Sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain to ensure tenderness. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
2. In a small bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and 60 ml of water. Mix well, then pour over the sliced beef. Let it marinate while you prepare other ingredients.
3. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger. Cut green onions into thin slices, setting aside the green parts for garnish.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, then add the marinated beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned but not cooked through completely. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add broccoli florets to the skillet, stir well to combine with the garlic and ginger. Pour in 120 ml of water, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the broccoli to steam for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
7. Return the beef to the skillet. Stir everything together, adding any remaining marinade. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
8. Season with red pepper flakes for a little heat, if desired.
9. Garnish with green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
10. Serve hot over steamed rice or with your choice of side.
