Ginger-Sesame Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry over Brown Rice
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Saucepan
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
- Add the sliced beef and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until it is mostly browned but still slightly pink in spots.
- Stir in the minced garlic and fresh ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets and pour in the soy sauce. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli turns bright green and stays crisp-tender.
- Warm the cooked brown rice if needed, then divide it among four plates.
- Spoon the beef and broccoli mixture over the rice and finish with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Slice the beef against the grain before cooking so it stays tender in the quick stir-fry. If the broccoli starts to look dry, add a splash of water during the last minute of cooking to create a little steam without thinning the sauce. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over low heat with a teaspoon of water to loosen everything back up.
