A quick and easy one-pan Chinese Beef and Broccoli stir-fry featuring tender beef slices, crisp broccoli, and a savory soy-garlic sauce. Perfect for weeknights and better than takeout.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup beef broth or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and beef broth to make the stir-fry sauce.
  2. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return the beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  7. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked through.
  8. Drizzle with sesame oil, toss well, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add chili flakes or chili garlic sauce.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
  • Substitute beef with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Include bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra veggies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
