Easy Teriyaki Beef Broccoli Stir-Fry Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound fresh broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 pound flank steak, sliced thin against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in ½ cup water until completely smooth
  2. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Set aside
  3. Cut broccoli head into uniform bite-size pieces for even cooking
  4. Slice flank steak thinly (¼-inch thick) against the grain for tenderness
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli, then 2 tablespoons water. Cover and steam briefly
  6. Remove lid and continue cooking until water absorbs and broccoli is crisp-tender. Transfer to plate
  7. Add remaining oil to pan, increase to high heat. Add beef in single layer, cook until browned
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low, add sauce mixture. Cook until bubbling and thickened
  9. Return broccoli to pan, toss to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice

Notes

  • Slice beef against the grain while it’s slightly frozen for easier, more uniform cuts
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking beef – work in batches if necessary for proper searing
  • Keep broccoli crisp by not overcooking – it should be bright green and tender-crisp
  • Stir the cornstarch mixture before adding to prevent lumps in your sauce
  • Have all ingredients prepped before starting since stir-frying happens quickly
