Ingredients
1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
Instructions
Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, combine sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Make the Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Beef: In the same pan, add remaining tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add marinated beef in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes, then stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine Everything: Return broccoli to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Marinate the beef for at least 10 minutes to enhance its flavor.
