Sesame Beef And Broccoli Stir-Fry
This Sesame Beef And Broccoli Stir-Fry is quick, flavorful, and packed with tender beef and crisp broccoli in a savory sesame sauce.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- cooked rice or noodles to serve
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat half the sesame oil in your wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining sesame oil and the vegetable oil to the pan. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
- Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Spread the slices out to get a nice sear instead of steaming.
- Return the cooked broccoli to the pan with the beef. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry just before serving.
- Scoop the Sesame Beef And Broccoli Stir-Fry over bowls of steamed rice or your favorite noodles and serve.
