Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broccoli

  • 8 oz lean beef strips (sirloin recommended)
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef and Broccoli: Thinly slice your beef against the grain for tenderness. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse them thoroughly to ensure even cooking.
  2. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), minced garlic, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar (natural). Toss the beef slices in this marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes while prepping broccoli to infuse flavor.
  3. Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and become just tender. Remove from pan and set aside to maintain crispness.
  4. Stir-Fry the Beef: In the same pan, add more vegetable oil if needed. Place the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry quickly over high heat until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. Combine and Thicken: Return the broccoli to the pan. Mix cornstarch with a splash of water to create a slurry, then pour it into the pan along with any remaining marinade and beef. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and broccoli with a glossy finish.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat and sprinkle with sliced scallions for a fresh, colorful finish. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles to enjoy the flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • Slice beef as thin and even as possible for faster, tender cooking.
  • Use high heat when stir-frying to sear beef and keep broccoli crisp.
  • Marinate beef briefly (10 minutes) to avoid sogginess while maximizing flavor.
  • Do not overcook broccoli; removing early preserves color and nutrients.
  • Mix cornstarch slurry thoroughly to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth sauce.
