Beef and Broccoli
I'm loving this easy and minimal ingredient beef and broccoli for quick dinners. It's so flavorful and is perfect served over a bed of rice!
What you need:
Beef: I used flank steak cut into thin strips.
Broccoli
Cornstarch: Used to thicken up the sauce.
Garlic, Ginger and Onion
Brown sugar
Soy sauce
What to do:
It's too easy! The steak sits in a cornstarch slurry and then gets cooked with the onions. Then you will remove the steak and cook the broccoli. Once you've whisked together the ingredients for the sauce, pour it over the broccoli and add the steak back in. Everything will thicken up and it will be done!I hope you guys enjoy this beef and broccoli!Recipe from Juste a Taste
Beef and Broccoli
Beef and broccoli cooked in the tradional Chinese sauce.
3 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 lb flank steak, sliced thin or in small cubes
2 heads of broccoli, cut into florets
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
Heat a pan over medium high heat with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Whisk together 2 tbsp of the cornstarch with 3 tbsp of water. Pour the mixture over the sliced steak in a bowl and toss until all of the meat is coated. Add the onions and then the steak into the pan. Cook until all sides of the meat are seared. Remove from the heat to a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil in the same pan over medium high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes. While the broccoli is cooking, whisk together the remainder (1 tbsp) of the cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Pour the sauce over the broccoli. Then add the steak back in. Mix everything together and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Serve over rice.
