A flavorful, protein-packed dish that incorporates the freshness of broccoli and the succulent taste of beef.

Main Dish

Steps

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add steak strips and cook until browned.
  3. Mix beef broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and ground ginger in a small bowl; add to the skillet with steak.
  4. Add broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes or until broccoli is partially cooked.
  5. Serve over cooked white/brown rice.

Tips for Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

  • Thin, evenly cut beef strips brown quickly; overcrowding the skillet can make them steam and turn chewy.
  • The sauce should look glossy and lightly coat the beef and broccoli; it thickens as it heats, so avoid letting it reduce too far.
  • Broccoli is ready when bright green with a little bite; cooking it until very soft can make the florets fall apart.

Drink pairing

A medium-bodied red like a Rioja
Its savory fruit and moderate structure complement the browned beef and savory soy-based sauce without overwhelming the broccoli.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the broccoli may soften further.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the beef is done?

The strips should be browned on the outside and cooked through, with no raw-looking center in the thickest piece.

Can I make the rice ahead?

Yes. Cooked rice can be prepared ahead and refrigerated promptly in a covered container; reheat it until steaming hot before serving.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, but brown the beef in batches so the skillet stays uncrowded, then combine everything to finish cooking.
