A classic dish that combines tender beef and fresh broccoli in a savory sauce, perfect for quick weeknight meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Flank Steak (Can substitute with sirloin or skirt steak)
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt (Adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (Substitute with soy sauce for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch (Can be replaced with arrowroot)
  • 1 cup Beef Broth (Can substitute with vegetable broth)
  • 3 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Opt for gluten-free tamari if needed)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (Replace with neutral oil if necessary)
  • 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper (Adjust to preference or omit)
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger (Fresh ginger can be used for more flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar (Honey or agave can be substitutes)
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic (Can use fresh garlic for better flavor)
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets (Can use frozen broccoli)
  • 2 tbsp Grapeseed Oil (Can substitute with canola or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (Can use plant-based margarine for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Beef: Begin by slicing the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.
  2. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, add the sliced beef, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: Combine beef broth, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, ground ginger, sugar, minced garlic, and onion powder in another bowl. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
  4. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add grapeseed oil, and cook the marinated beef for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from pan.
  5. Stir-fry the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add butter, let it melt, and stir-fry the broccoli for 5-7 minutes until bright green.
  6. Combine and Finish Cooking: Return beef to skillet, pour the sauce over, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  7. Serve: Enjoy hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust the crushed red pepper for spice preference.
