Description
Chinese Beef and Broccoli: Bold, easy dinner with tender beef, crisp broccoli and a savory brown sauce inspired by classic takeout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce, if not gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp dry sherry (halal substitute for Shaoxing wine)
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola or avocado)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, toss sliced beef with cornstarch, 1 tbsp tamari, and dry sherry. Set aside to marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, tamari, brown sugar, beef broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add garlic, ginger, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
- Marinate the beef for 10–15 minutes for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain for quick browning.
- Adjust sauce to taste with more tamari or brown sugar as needed.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy with sesame seeds or green onions for garnish.
