Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

By July 5, 2011December 15th, 2021No Comments

Beef and Broccoli StirfryBeef and Broccoli Stir-fry is a traditional Asian dish and one of our favorites. Tender slices of steak, fresh broccoli and chopped onions all smothered in a thick, sweet & savory sauce. The combination all served over tender rice is a combination you won’t want to miss.

Beef and Broccoli SteakThe key to a great stir fry is to saute the ingredients separately so that the vegetables don’t become over cooked. Saute the onions and steak first and then saute the broccoli just until tender–don’t over cook or you will have wilted and gray broccoli.

Ingredients

  • SAUCE
  • 3 Tbs. cornstarch
  • 2 cup beef broth or 2 c. water & 3 t. beef bouillon
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3-1/2 cup brown sugar depending how sweet you want your stir fry
  • 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger or 1/2 t. powder
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1/2-1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • STIRFRY
  • 1-2 lbs. boneless beef steak I used petite sirloin but most cuts will work fine
  • Salt & pepper for frying I used Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1 lb. fresh broccoli florets you could also use fresh snow peas from your garden too
  • 1 onion sliced
  • Olive oil for frying about 3-4 T.
  • 4 cup cooked rice

Instructions

  • Slice the onions into medium sized pieces. Wash the broccoli and cut into bite sized pieces about 1/2-1 inch thick. Slice the steak into one inch pieces as well (steak is easiest to cut when it is slightly frozen). Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, bring the stove to high heat. Drizzle a few tablespoons of oil into the pan and begin sauteing the onion until it begins to caramelize. When the onions are soft, add the pieces of steak and saute until the steak is nearly all cooked through (still slightly pink--don't over cook or it will be too tough). Remove the steak and onions and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the pan and place the broccoli pieces into the pan. Season with salt and pepper. When broccoli is hot, add a few tablespoons of water and let broccoli begin to steam. Once the broccoli is slightly soft, but still very green, remove from the pan and add to the steak and onions. In the same pan, add the sauce ingredients and whisk on medium heat until sauce begins to thicken (about 1-2 minutes). Once sauce is thick, add the broccoli, steak and onions back to the pan and keep warm until ready to serve. Serve beef and broccoli over cooked rice.
