Ingredients Needed:

For the Marinade:

• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons sherry
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Stir-Fry:

• 1 pound flank steak, trimmed of fat and sliced very thin against the grain
• 3 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
• 1 pound broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• Salt, to taste (use sparingly)
• Chow Mein, for serving

How To Cook Beef Broccoli :

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sherry, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Pour half of this mixture over the sliced flank steak in a separate bowl and toss to coat the meat. Set the other half of the marinade aside for later.
2. Cook the Broccoli: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet or wok over high heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for about 1 minute until slightly tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
3. Cook the Beef: Allow the skillet to get very hot again. Using tongs, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Avoid stirring for about 1 minute to let the meat brown properly. After 1 minute, turn the beef to cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the beef from the skillet and place it on a clean plate.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet along with the beef broth and oyster sauce. Cook over high heat until the sauce starts to thicken. Return the beef and broccoli to the skillet, tossing to coat everything evenly. Season with salt if needed.
5. Serve: Serve the beef and broccoli over Chow Mein.

Recipe Tips

• Choose the Right Cut: Use flank steak for the best flavor and tenderness. Slice it thinly against the grain to ensure it stays tender when cooked.
• Marinate Properly: Allow the beef to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes. This helps the meat absorb the flavors and makes it more tender.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the beef, do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of browning, affecting the texture.
• Cook Broccoli Separately: Stir-fry the broccoli for just a minute before adding it back to the dish. This keeps it crisp and bright in color.
• Adjust the Sauce to Taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed. A little extra soy sauce or a pinch of sugar can enhance the flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Let the leftovers Beef Broccoli cool until it is at room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for 3-4 days.
• Freeze: To freeze leftovers Beef Broccoli, put it in a freezer-safe container or bag after cooling. You can freeze it for up to 3 months. To thaw, move it to the fridge overnight before reheating it in a pan or microwave.
• Reheating: Reheat leftovers Beef Broccoli in a skillet over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, use a microwave, heating in 1-minute intervals until hot, adding a splash of broth to keep it moist.
