Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
- Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to turn bright green and are slightly tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Increase the heat to high. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour the sauce over the beef in the skillet. Add the cooked broccoli and stir to coat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the stir-fry immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can substitute chicken or shrimp for the beef. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots.
