I remember the first time I heard someone mention that Chinese food was unhealthy. I was confused because at that point in time, most Chinese meals I’ve had were healthier than your average American dish. An average homecooked meal for me consisted of meat, veggie, and seafood. An abundance of good nutrition! This Broccoli with Beef Stir Fry is one of the examples!

Later on, I learned what American Chinese food or takeout was like, and I could see why people would get the idea. MSG, lots of grease, a lot of breading (ex: General Tso’s Chicken – tho I’m sure there’s a delicious healthy version out there too…).

I guess my point is if you are having trouble eating a healthy diet because you miss eating Chinese takeout? No worries! Make your own healthy version at home!

Broccoli is super healthy for you! Just 100 grams of broccoli will give you over 150% of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin C! Besides that, it is also high in vitamin A, iron, vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, zinc, phosphorus and phyto-nutrients.

What kind of beef to use for stir fry

For stir frying, tender beef cuts such as sirloin, ribeye, tri tip, top loin, tenderloin, and flat iron all work very well. Just make sure to cut the beef in to strips or smaller and equal sizes for even cooking!

In this recipe, I used ribeye this round (as pictured), but I do switch it up occasionally, so you may want to try all different types and see what is your favorite!

How to make Broccoli Beef Stir Fry

First, gather your ingredients:

• 1 pound steak, sliced
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 5 garlic cloves, crushed and roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp of cooking oil/fat
• 8 oz of broccoli florets – you can buy those packages of already cut florets, or you can buy broccoli and cut in to florets yourself!
• 1/4 cup of broth or water
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• Salt to taste

Cut and wash your broccoli, and slice your beef.

Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and sugar and beef in a large bowl or zip lock bag. If you are about to cook it, let it marinade at the very least 15-30 minutes. If you are making this ahead, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.

In a large wok or cooking pan, add cooking oil and heat on high heat. Add beef and garlic and stir fry until mostly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Add some additional oil if the pan is too dry. Add broccoli florets and stir fry for a minute. Then add broth or water, and cover for about a minute or two. Allow it to cook until your desired tenderness.

Uncover and add the beef back to the wok/pan, add oyster sauce and salt to taste, and stir fry for just on more minute and transfer to plate.

Serve! I recommend with some rice 🙂
