Description

A comforting and flavorful dish of marinated beef and crisp broccoli cooked in a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Flank Steak
  • 2 cups Broccoli
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • ½ cup Water
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. Toss the sliced beef into the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Broccoli: Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until vibrantly green. Drain and plunge them into ice water.
  4. Heat Things Up: In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear without stirring for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet with the beef. Pour in the water and toss everything together.
  6. Plate it Up: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve it hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef for up to an hour. Use fresh veggies for the best texture.
