Ingredients
- Beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced: 1 pound
- Broccoli florets: 4 cups
- Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
- Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
- Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- Ginger, minced: 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Set aside.
- Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Step 3: Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Step 4: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the broccoli and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Step 5: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the broccoli and sauce. Cook for another minute, ensuring the beef is heated through.
Notes
- For best flavor, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when stir-frying the beef to ensure it browns nicely and doesn't steam.
