Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin steak and slice it into thin strips against the grain.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Quickly drain and transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, cooked beef, red bell pepper slices, julienned carrot, and green onions.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately as a main dish or a hearty side. Enjoy your 'So Good Beef and Broccoli Salad'!
