Ingredients
- Beef sirloin
- 1 pound, thinly sliced against the grain
- Broccoli florets
- 4 cups
- Cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon
- Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon
- Water
- 1/4 cup
- Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
- Green onions
- 2, sliced (for garnish)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, cornstarch, and water. This will be your sauce mixture. Set aside.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef.
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli.
- Stir fry everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and broccoli evenly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the beef in the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for more color and nutrition.
- Serve with a sprinkle of additional sesame seeds for added crunch.
