Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry Ingredients

Of course, that’s not the only two ingredients you’ll find in this dish.
You’ll have a bit of salty soy sauce, a bit of spice from ginger and red pepper flakes, and a bit more depth of flavor from the yummy garlic.
Simple ingredients, powerful punch of flavor!
Substitutions and Additions to the Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe

Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
This low carb and low sugar Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry is a crowd pleaser. If you have picky eaters at home, this is one they'll love!
Ingredients
- ¾ pound lean top sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 12 oz package of broccoli florets (4 cups)
- ¼ to ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce (for regular soy sauce, use ¼ cup soy sauce and ¼ cup water)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 – 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- pinch red pepper flakes
- Pepper, to taste
- ¼-1/2 cup water, as desired
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add your thinly sliced steak and
cornstarch. Fully coat the meat. - Heat a drizzle of Olive Oil in a large pan on medium
heat. Add in enough beef slices to the pan to allow
each slice to fully cook on each side without
touching. You may need to work in batches to ensure
that the pan is not overcrowded with beef to allow
beef to crisp up a bit. - Once all steak is cooked, place steak on plate, cover
and set aside. - Next, add broccoli to same pan. Add a bit more oil if
needed. Cook broccoli until it starts to become
tender, about 8 minutes or so. - While broccoli is cooking, in a small bowl add soy
sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and pepper
stir until well combined. Set aside. - When broccoli is fully cooked to your desired
doneness, transfer to the same plate as meat. Set
aside. - Add mixture to pan and collect all the bits from the
bottom. Simmer about 1 minute. - Add meat and broccoli back to pan and stir until well combined with
sauce. Allow meat and broccoli to heat through. - If sauce is too thick or too salty, add water, as
needed.
