Beef & Broccoli Essentials
- Beef: I love flank steak for beef stir fries and dishes like mongolian beef. Skirt steak or hanger steak are other great options.
- Marinade: Hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and sriracha add flavor and tenderize the beef too. If you haven’t add hoisin sauce, it’s really delicious in stir fries or drizzled over rice.
- Broccoli: I prefer fresh broccoli florets in this recipe. Cut them into small, bite-sized pieces. You can use frozen broccoli however it has a softer texture
- Sauce: The sauce is made with oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and rice wine. Ensure you’re using rice WINE, not rice vinegar.
Variations
- Add in water chestnuts, baby corn, mushrooms, or sliced bell peppers.
- Top with toasted sesame seeds or sliced almonds.

-
In a small bowl, combine sliced flank steak with all marinade ingredients. Let rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together all ingredients and set aside. Gather all stir-fry ingredients and set aside.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer, in batches if needed, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer cooked beef to a plate.
-
Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to same skillet and add the broccoli florets. Cook the broccoli for 1 minute, then add water and cover the skillet to steam the broccoli for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Transfer the broccoli to the plate with the beef.
-
If needed, add a small drizzle of vegetable oil to the same skillet, then add garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add cooked beef and broccoli to the skillet and stir to combine.
-
Whisk sauce ingredients again to make sure they’re combined, then add them to the skillet. Cook everything for 1-2 minutes, stirring until sauce is thickened and the beef and broccoli are coated.
-
Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serve. Can be served as is, or over white rice.
Cut the broccoli florets into smaller bite sized pieces for best results.
