Description

A classic Chinese dish that combines tender beef and vibrant broccoli in a savory sauce, perfect for quick dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Cooked white or brown rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the broccoli for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Add minced garlic and ginger to the center of the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in beef broth, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Return beef to skillet and stir to combine, adding the cornstarch slurry gradually while stirring.
  7. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then serve hot over cooked rice.

Notes

Marinate beef ahead of time for deeper flavor. Customize with extra vegetables if desired.
