This classic Stir-Fry Beef and Broccoli is so easy to prep and cook! And, for all of you steak and broccoli lovers, the flavor is outstanding! No need to order Chinese take-out when you can make this at home in just 30 minutes!

This Stir-Fry Beef and Broccoli is a great way to satisfy your Chinese food cravings without picking up the phone to call for takeout, especially during this pandemic!

I used flank steak for this recipe, but you can use many other cuts of beef, like top sirloin, flat iron or skirt steak, or beef tenderloin.

Stir-fry the flank steak strips in a heavy wok until just browned. Then remove and set aside.

Healthy broccoli florets are loaded with Vitamins C and K, potassium and fiber! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and protects the body from damaging free radicals.

What’s in the stir-fry sauce?

The sauce is key to this delicious Chinese stir-fry! Here are these simple ingredients.

white sugar
cornstarch
red pepper flakes

TIPS & TRICKS

Black soy sauce can be found at specialty Asian markets or Amazon. You can leave this out, if desired, and double up on the soy sauce.
If you’re not able to use flank steak, other great options include sirloin, flat iron or skirt steak, or filet.
Slice the beef against the grain. When you look at the beef, you will notice that the fibers are mostly going in one direction. Place the beef in front of you so the fibers are going left to right. Then cut through the fibers (i.e. cut perpendicular to the direction of the fibers).
To toast the sesame seeds: Place in a skillet on the stove over medium heat and dry toast it until light brown. Don’t overcook.
This dish will stay fresh for up to four days in the refrigerator.
