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
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with cornstarch, soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Add the broccoli and bell pepper and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the wok. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce if desired. Serve hot over rice.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent dryness.
  • Serve this flavorful dish with a side of steamed white rice and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch and aroma.
  • For extra tender beef, ensure your flank steak is extremely thinly sliced against the grain and don't overcook it during the stir-fry.
