Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and beef broth. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger; stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the beef strips to the pan and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss in the broccoli florets.
Stir-fry the broccoli for about 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli, add the soy sauce-beef broth mixture, and bring to a simmer.
Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry, add the red pepper flakes and black pepper, and toss everything to combine.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot over cooked brown rice or quinoa if desired.
