Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce. Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- Slice beef thinly while it’s slightly frozen for easier cutting.
- Add bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra color and crunch.
- Use store-bought teriyaki sauce for a quicker version, but homemade has the best flavor balance.
- For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
