Beef & Broccoli recipe


ingredient 

  • Flank Steak: look for a single flank steak that weighs at least 1 ½ pounds. 
  • Scallions: also called green onions. You’ll need one bunch for this recipe. When prepping the scallions, be sure to separate out the light green and white parts from the dark green parts since they’re used at different times throughout the cooking process.
  • High heat cooking oil: I like avocado oil for this recipe, but you can also use grapeseed oil. 
  • Oyster sauce: find this in the Asian sauce area of your grocery store or at any Asian market. This thick and savory sauce lays the foundation of flavor for the dish. 
  • Beef-broth: I always opt for low-sodium. Chicken broth, vegetable broth or even water can be substituted. If you use water, be sure to season with additional salt at the end.

  • Ginger: small bits of fresh ginger add a little oomph to each bite. It’s a must-add ingredient in this recipe. Be sure to use fresh ginger. You can most often find it in the produce area next to the onions and garlic. 
  • Garlic: I prefer to simply chop fresh garlic and add it to the pan. Grating or mincing is too much work for a dish this simple. 
  • Cornstarch: used to thicken the sauce and create a silky-smooth dish. Arrowroot starch would be a good substitute. 
  • Low-sodium tamari or soy sauce: whichever you have on hand works great here. If you only have regular (not low-sodium) pull back on the amount of salt used to season the beef
  • Honey: a small dash of honey balances out the savory flavors of this dish. You can also use brown sugar. 
  • Broccoli: a full pound of broccoli is used in this recipe! Feel free to add matchstick-cut carrots or even some small cauliflower florets.
