Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry (Shellfish-Free)

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.
2. 2Place a 30.48 cm skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and let it heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Add the 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. 3Add the about 450 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced, to the skillet. Stir-fry the beef, separating the slices, until it is browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. The beef should reach an internal temperature of 63°C.
4. 4Add the 4 cups broccoli florets to the skillet with the beef. Continue to stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green.
5. 5Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients. The sauce should be glossy.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon sesame oil until combined.
7. 7Divide the 4 cups cooked rice among four bowls. Spoon the beef and broccoli stir-fry over the rice. Serve immediately.
