Delicious chinese beef and broccoli recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (or dry sherry)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and Shaoxing rice wine. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 3-5 minutes). Remove beef from wok and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked beef to the wok. In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and brown sugar. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  5. Step 5: Stir in sesame oil and remove from heat. Serve immediately over rice.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent dryness.
  • Serve this flavorful dish over fluffy white rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch and visual appeal.
  • For extra tender beef, try using a meat mallet to pound the flank steak slightly thinner before marinating, ensuring even cooking.
