Chinese Beef and Broccoli

Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying homemade version of the popular Chinese takeout dish, featuring juicy beef and tender-crisp broccoli in a savory-sweet sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, sliced thin against the grain
  • 2–3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium if you’re watching salt)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate beef: Mix half the soy sauce, cornstarch, and a splash of water with the steak and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Steam or microwave broccoli until just tender.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and cook the beef slices quickly. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  4. Remove beef and add garlic and ginger to the pan, cooking until fragrant.
  5. Return beef to the pan, stir in oyster sauce, remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil, then add the broccoli.
  6. Cook until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined. Serve over rice.

Notes

Slice the steak thin against the grain for tenderness. Frozen broccoli can be used in a pinch, but fresh is preferred for better texture.
