Beef and Broccoli Recipe

4 servings
Beef and Broccoli is an easy, 1-pan, 30-minute meal that is loaded with fresh broccoli, tender nutrition-packed beef, and the best stir fry sauce. We love this over steamy white rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak

    very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

    divided), (or vegetable oil

  • 1 lb broccoli)

    (cut into 6 cups of florets

  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

    optional garnish

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger)

    grated (loosely packed

  • 2 tsp garlic)

    grated (from 3 cloves

  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 6 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce)

    (or GF Tamari

  • 3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep: Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir fry is done. Cover and freeze steak 30 minutes for easier slicing.

  2. 2

    Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil.  Add broccoli florets and sauté 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring or tossing several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender then remove from pan. Tip: If you prefer softer broccoli, add 2 Tbsp water before covering with the lid and it will steam cook the broccoli.

  4. 4

    Increase heat to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Add beef in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.

  5. 5

    Add the sauce, reduce heat to medium/low and simmer 3-4 minutes. It will thicken. Add broccoli and stir to combine. Stir in 1-2 Tbsp water to thin the sauce if desired. Serve over white rice.
