Ingredients: 12

This beef and broccoli stir-fry pairs tender sliced beef with crisp-tender broccoli in a glossy oyster-soy sauce. A short marinade, a hot pan, and a cornstarch-thickened sauce give the dish the familiar takeout-style texture while keeping it practical for a home kitchen.

Ingredients

Beef

8
ounces flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain
1
tablespoon soy sauce
1
tablespoon shaoxing wine
1
teaspoon cornstarch
14
teaspoon baking soda
14
teaspoon white pepper, ground

Sauce

13
cup low-sodium beef broth
2
tablespoons oyster sauce
1
tablespoon soy sauce
1
teaspoon granulated sugar
1
teaspoon cornstarch
12
teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Stir-Fry

10
ounces broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
2
tablespoons neutral oil
2
cloves garlic, minced
2
teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

1. Combine the beef with the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, baking soda, and white pepper in a bowl; toss until evenly coated and let stand for 15 minutes.
2. Whisk the beef broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and sesame oil together in a small bowl until smooth.
3. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add the broccoli, and cook for 60 to 90 seconds until bright green and just tender; drain well.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.
5. Add the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for about 1 minute, then stir-fry just until browned; transfer to a plate.
6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 15 seconds until fragrant.
7. Add the drained broccoli and toss for 30 seconds to coat it in the aromatics.
8. Return the beef and any juices to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
9. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
