Ingredients:
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
- Marinate Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Cook Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring frequently, until they are bright green and crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger to the skillet with the broccoli and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Combine and Thicken: Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the Beef and Broccoli over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
- Enjoy: Dive into this savory and satisfying Beef and Broccoli, and enjoy the delicious flavors of this homemade takeout favorite!
Thanks for sharing this beef and broccoli recipe. Can’t wait to try it! 
I think adding garlic and ginger gives Beef and Broccoli its delicious depth of flavor. Though, using low-sodium soy sauce keeps it from getting too salty! 
Love how tender the beef looks and those crisp broccoli florets! 
Can’t wait to try it out.
