How to Make Beef And Broccoli Stir Fry

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 4 hours.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes.
  5. Drain the broccoli and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
  7. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  8. Add the beef to the hot wok and stir-fry until almost cooked, about 2 minutes.
  9. Add the blanched broccoli to the wok and stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.
  10. Pour the reserved marinade into the wok and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  11. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and coats the beef and broccoli, about 1-2 minutes.
  12. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  13. Serve immediately over cooked rice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
