How to make Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• Neutral cooking oil
• 4 cups broccoli florets

For Sauce

• ¼ cup Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
• ⅓ cup water
• 3 tablespoons cane sugar
• 1 tablespoon Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For Serving

• 4 cups cooked rice
• ¼ cup chopped green onions

Directions:

1. Toss strips of beef in cornstarch and black pepper in a bowl to coat.
2. Heat ½ inch of neutral cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until very hot. Test a strip of beef to ensure oil is hot enough by lowering into oil with tongs. If beef starts to sizzle and fry, the oil is ready. Working in two batches, add strips of beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until beef is crispy and golden brown, turning once for even frying. Transfer cooked beef to a bowl.
3. Discard oil and clean pan. Whisk together ingredients for sauce and pour into pan over medium-low heat. Simmer sauce for 1-2 minutes, until thickened. Add broccoli florets to pan and cook 1-2 minutes. Add beef back to pan and stir to coat.
4. Serve over rice and garnish with green onion.

Tips for the perfect beef and broccoli

• The beef in this recipe is thinly sliced flank steak. I find that it can sometimes be tricky to slice steak, so I typically put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before I slice it. Freezing the meat helps to firm it up so that you can get thinner slices.
• If you’re not able to use flank steak, other great options include sirloin, skirt steak or New York strip.
• This dish is great for meal prep, and will stay fresh for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
