Easy Beef and Broccoli

posted on October 30, 2017 by Stephanie

If you people missed my most recent infant update, sleep has been pretty much non-existent in this house for the past month or so. Natalie has actually been getting up continuously and I’ve been simply exhausted. Cooking dinner has actually not been my preferred activity as of late, but we certainly can’t purchase in all of the time and I have actually been making a great deal of quick suppers lately and this Easy Beef and Broccoli is a brand-new one that my husband and I both provided a huge thumbs up and I’ll certainly be making this one once again.

This supper comes together in under 30 minutes. The longest part for me is slicing the flank steak and really, I planned ahead and sliced my meat the night before I made this and it conserved a great deal of time the next night so that is definitely an alternative if you wish to make this throughout a weekday!

The sauce is incredibly simple, just beef broth, soy sauce, a touch of brown sugar, rice vinegar, and some spices.



Prep Time
15 minutes.

Cook Time
20 minutes.

Overall Time
35 minutes.

Active Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak, cut and thinly sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low salt soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 4 cups broccoli florets

Guidelines

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a big non-stick frying pan. Add the chopped flank steak, season with salt, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, then flip each slice and continue cooking up until lightly browned, another 3-4 minutes.
  2. While the steak cooks, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Transfer prepared steak to a plate and set aside and return the pan to the heat.
  3. Pour the sauce into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir together the water and corn starch in a bowl and mix in with the sauce. Let the sauce start to thicken, about 1-2 minutes. Then add in the broccoli (see note below) and beef. Lower the heat to medium low and let the broccoli cook till tender. Season with more salt to taste. Serve over rice, noodles, or more veggies.

Notes

I choose my broccoli to be al dente. The broccoli will cook when tossed with whatever during the last couple of minutes, however if you prefer softer broccoli, you can include it in earlier or steam individually to reach your desired consistency.
