Delicious chinese beef and broccoli recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (or dry sherry)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add the garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli and bell pepper and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the wok. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and honey or brown sugar. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately over steamed rice.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent dryness.
  • Serve this flavorful dish with a side of steamed jasmine rice and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch and aroma.
  • For extra tender beef, consider using a meat mallet to pound the flank steak slightly thinner before marinating; this helps the marinade penetrate better and speeds up the cooking process.
