For those days when you're craving takeout, there's nothing else that will quite satisfy the craving... except for a better-for-you take on the same recipe that tastes even better than takeout. That's exactly what my Quick and Easy Saucy Beef & Broccoli is. This recipe comes together in just 20 minutes, making it a simple recipe that comes together faster than you can order Doordash!
Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry:
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
- 1 Pound Flank Steak cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 Cups Broccoli Florets cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 Cloves Garlic mashed
- 2 Green Onions sliced thin - both the whites and the greens
- ¼ Cup Water
For the Sauce:
- ¾ Cup Beef or Chicken Broth
- ¼ Cup Hoisin Sauce
- ¼ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 Teaspoons Avocado Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Starch or Tapioca Flour or Corn Starch
- 2 Teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- To make this quick & easy stir-fry, start by preparing the steak. Chop the steak into bite-sized pieces. I recommend cutting against the grain for tender, more juicy meat.
- Once the steak is chopped, set it aside and prepare the broccoli by washing it and chopping it into small pieces.
- Then, prepare the sauce. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until they're fully combined Set the sauce aside.
- Next, add one tablespoon of oil to a large pan and heat it on the stove, over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the steak and sauté it until it is cooked through. A little pink is okay, but you'll want the steak mostly cooked through. This should take approximately 4 minutes.
- Once the steak is done, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
- Then, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, and add in the chopped broccoli, garlic, green onion, and water. Stir the ingredients well and allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the beef back in and stir until it is fully incorporated with the vegetables. Then, pour the sauce on top and mix until everything is coated well.
- Allow the beef and broccoli to cook in the sauce for about 5-6 minutes. Then, turn off the heat.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Once it's done, serve it over rice and enjoy!
