Ginger Soy Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Yield: 4

Author: Anna Caskey

Ingredients

For the Stir Fry

1 lb flank steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced against the grain
4 cups broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on the diagonal (optional, for color)
3 green onions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (about 1 tbsp)
2 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
2 tbsp neutral oil
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch
¼ cup water

For serving

3 cups cooked jasmine rice or steamed white rice
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Extra green onions for garnish

Instructions

Start the Rice:

If serving with rice, start cooking it first. Jasmine or white rice usually takes 15–20 minutes, so it will be ready by the time the stir fry is done.

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Blanch the Broccoli

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Drain and immediately run under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Cook the Beef

Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil + 2 tbsp neutral oil.
Once hot, add beef slices in a single layer. Sear 2–3 minutes until browned (work in batches if needed). Remove from pan and set aside.

Stir Fry the Aromatics & Veggies:

In the same pan, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add garlic, ginger, and carrots. Stir fry 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add blanched broccoli and green onions. Stir fry another 2–3 minutes.

Bring It Together:

Return beef to the pan. Pour sauce over everything. Toss to coat, cooking 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and glossy.

Serve

Spoon beef & broccoli stir fry over bowls of fluffy jasmine rice.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and extra green onions.

Notes

Meal Prep Tip: Slice beef and prep veggies in advance. Store in containers in the fridge so dinner comes together in under 20 minutes.

Broccoli Swap: You can use broccolini or even green beans if that’s what you have on hand.

Spice Option: Add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce for a little heat.
