How to Make Simple Beef Broccoli
- In a medium zip-top bag, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak works well) to the bag, ensuring the meat is fully coated in the marinade.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- While the beef marinates, cut 1 large head of broccoli into small, diagonal pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender-crisp. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar during cooking.
- Remove the broccoli from the wok and set aside.
- Add the marinated beef to the wok and stir-fry until cooked through (about 3-5 minutes), breaking up any clumps.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the cooked broccoli to the wok and toss to combine, heating through.
- Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
