A quick and savory stir-fry featuring tender beef and crisp broccoli in a glossy sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, bite-sized
  • 1 cup sliced carrots (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated or finely minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Toss the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix until evenly coated and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
  3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the marinated beef in a single layer if possible. Let it sear for 30–45 seconds without moving, then stir-fry until mostly browned but slightly pink inside (about 1–2 minutes).
  5. Push the beef to the side or remove it briefly. Add broccoli and sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. Return the beef to the pan. Pour in 1/2 cup beef broth and add 2 tablespoons oyster sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  7. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly (about 1–2 minutes).
  8. Finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil (optional) and serve hot over rice.

Notes

For gluten-free, swap soy sauce for tamari and use gluten-free oyster sauce. Marinate beef briefly for optimal texture.
