Crispy Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Soy Sauce and Ginger Recipe

Servings: 4-6

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

For the beef:

• 1 pound beef strips (sirloin or ribeye), sliced into thin strips
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the stir-fry:

• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Scallions, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the beef: In a medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
3. Cook the broccoli: In the same skillet or wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for an additional 1 minute.
4. Stir-fry the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and 1 tablespoon of water. Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok and stir to combine with the broccoli. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5. Combine the beef and broccoli: Add the cooked beef back into the skillet or wok and stir to combine with the broccoli and sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the beef is coated in the sauce.
6. Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped scallions (if using) and serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Tips and Variations:

• For an extra crispy beef, coat the beef strips with a mixture of cornstarch and panko breadcrumbs before cooking.
• Add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, to the stir-fry for added color and texture.
• Use different types of protein, such as chicken or tofu, for a vegetarian or vegan option.
