It is no secret that my husband and I love some good 'take out' Chinese food and this beef & broccoli definitely hits the spot! I found a recipe for beef & broccoli on the Pioneer Woman's television show a few months ago and had to give it a shot. We have since made this dish several times with only a few small changes to the original recipe. This beef & broccoli will definitely be making an appearance at our dinner table again soon!
This recipe will make about 4 servings of beef & broccoli:
- 1/2 cup LOW-SODIUM SOY SAUCE
- 1/4 cup CORN STARCH
- 2 Tbs BROWN SUGAR
- 1 Tbs GINGER, minced
- 2 cloves GARLIC, mined
- 1 lb. FLANK STEAK, sliced very thin
- 2 Tbs PEANUT or OLIVE OIL
- 1 lb. BROCCOLI FLORETS, chopped
- 1/4 cup BEEF BROTH
- 2 Tbs OYSTER SAUCE
- Optional: RICE or CHOW MEIN
Mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in bowl. (...or in the case of the picture below, a measuring cup!)
Pour half of the sauce mixture into a separate bowl and toss the steak in it. Set both bowls aside.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat and cook the chopped broccoli until just tender. Then remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside.
Heat the skillet with another tablespoon of oil for a minute or so to allow it to get very hot again. Lay the slices of steak along the bottom of the hot pan in a single layer (as much as possible depending on the size of your pan). Let the slices of steak cook for a minute or two without moving them to allow the meat to brown.
Flip the slices of steak and cook for another 30 seconds before removing the steak from the heat.
Pour the second half of the sauce (that didn't have the steak in it), the beef broth, and the oyster sauce into the skillet and cook over high heat until the sauce begins to thickens. Add the beef and broccoli back into the skillet and toss with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve over rice or chow mein!
