kcal: Approximately 320 kcal per serving
Ingredients:
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Optional: Red pepper flakes or sliced chili for added heat
- Optional: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, rice vinegar, and cornstarch to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced flank steak to the hot oil and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.
- In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, and stir fry for about 30 seconds, or until aromatic.
- Add the broccoli florets to the wok and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. If you prefer softer broccoli, you can cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Optional: For a spicier stir fry, you can add red pepper flakes or sliced chili to the broccoli during the last minute of cooking.
- Return the cooked beef to the wok with the broccoli.
- Give the stir fry sauce a quick stir to ensure the cornstarch is well mixed, and then pour it over the beef and broccoli in the wok.
- Stir everything together, coating the beef and broccoli evenly with the savory sauce.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli nicely.
- Once the beef and broccoli stir fry is fully cooked, remove the wok from heat.
Note: You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less cornstarch and water to your preference.
