Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz plant-based beef strips
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Minced garlic and grate the ginger. Cut broccoli into florets and thinly slice the green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to form the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based beef strips and cook for 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sesame oil. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become tender but still crisp.
Return the plant-based beef strips to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the ingredients, and stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the broccoli and beef strips.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
Serve hot, alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
