Here’s a classic Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry recipe that’s quick, easy, and delicious:

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 1 lb (450 g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Stir-Fry:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup beef broth or water

For the Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef:
   • In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil.
   • Add the sliced beef and toss to coat.
   • Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
3. Cook the Beef:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until it’s almost cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Broccoli:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
   • Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for another minute.
   • Pour in the beef broth or water, cover, and let the broccoli steam for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
5. Combine and Finish:
   • Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
   • Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat evenly.
   • Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles.

Tips

• Slice the beef thinly: This helps it cook quickly and absorb the marinade better.
• High heat: Ensure your skillet or wok is hot before adding the ingredients to get a nice sear.
• Prep ingredients: Have all ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a quick process.
