Can I use another type of meat instead of beef?

Absolutely! If you prefer chicken, pork, or even tofu as a vegetarian option, feel free to adapt this recipe. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the protein choice.

Is it possible to make this dish in advance?

You can certainly prepare the ingredients in advance to save time, but I recommend cooking it fresh for the best texture and flavor. Stir-fries are best served immediately to retain vegetable crunch.

How do I store leftovers?

To store leftovers, place the stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for two to three days. When reheating, add a little water in the pan to maintain moisture.

Can I freeze Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry?

While it's possible to freeze stir-fry, keep in mind that the texture might change upon reheating, especially for the broccoli. For best results, it’s advisable to consume within a week of cooking.

What should I serve with this dish?

This dish is best enjoyed over cooked rice, but you can also serve it over noodles or quinoa. Pair with a fresh salad or other side dishes like spring rolls for a complete meal!

Instructions

Marinate the Beef: Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and beef broth in a bowl. Add sliced beef and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Beef: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef from the pan.
Stir-Fry Aromatics and Vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if necessary, then stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine and Thicken: Return cooked beef to the pan and pour in the marinade sauce. Stir until coated and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve: Serve the stir-fry immediately over cooked rice.

Notes

For a variation, add snap peas, bell peppers, or carrots. For a spicy kick, add chili oil or red pepper flakes.
