Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 300 grams plant-based beef strips
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce (reduced sodium)
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
- 4 servings cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
Begin by preparing the broccoli florets by washing them and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the plant-based beef strips to the pan and stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the sliced onion and minced garlic. Stir fry for about 2 minutes until the onions are translucent and aromatic.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan, stirring frequently for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vegetable broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, and grated ginger until smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Return the plant-based beef strips to the pan, combining them with the broccoli and sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry and give it one last stir to incorporate the flavors.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
