Easy Beef and Broccoli: The Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
– 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
– 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
– Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Making Easy Beef and Broccoli involves a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure you create a delicious dish:

1. Prepare the Beef: Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. This helps make the meat more tender.

2. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with gluten-free soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to tenderize the meat and enhance flavor.

3. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey or maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Set aside.

4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Ensure it is hot enough before adding the beef.

5. Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

6. Cook the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add a splash of water and the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until tender and bright green. You can cover the skillet for a minute if you want the broccoli to cook faster.

7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
