The other week I bought a huge bag of precut broccoli florets from Costco. Chopped up broccoli is something I like to have on hand with the busy months of spring. Easy to whip up a quick side dish of broccoli for dinner or throw together a broccoli salad to take on a picnic. Being the wife of a beef producer, something else we tend to have on hand (and in excess) is round steak and sirloin steak. Late one afternoon with no dinner plans in mind but a fridge of precut broccoli and a freezer full of beef I decided to attempt a Chinese dish at home. It was of great success, Yum! I cut the steak into 3″ strips, threw some ingredients together to make a marinade, stir fried it all together and ended up with a delicious meal. This Beef and Broccoli dish is a easy to make and full of flavor! I foresee a Costco stop in the near future for some more broccoli. 🙂
- 1 lb boneless round steak or sirloin steak cut into think 3-inch strips
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- ½ small onion, cut into wedges (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- Sauce/Marinade (amounts below for 1 batch, will use two batches total)
- ⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbs brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- hot cooked rice
- Make up a batch of the sauce above by combining soy sauce, brown sugar and ground ginger. Pour over steak strips and allow to marinate a minimum of 2 hours up to 24 hours.
- Heat large skillet or wok on medium-high heat and add in streak and sauce and cook until reaches desired doneness. Remove from pan and set aside
- Add 1 Tbs olive oil to pan and stir fry the broccoli and onion for approx. 4-5 minutes. Add in minced garlic and stir fry for another minute or two.
- Return beef to skillet and make another batch of sauce (soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger) and pour over beef, broccoli and onions. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Serve over rice.
This looks really delicious, Shelby! I have made something similar to this as a slow cooker, and I just throw in the round steak with a cup or two of beef broth, minced garlic, soy, and ginger – another variation for this recipe 🙂
Yes! I remember you mentioning this…I need to try the slow cooker version, right up my alley ?
Shelby, made this tonight and it was delish! Easy, quick, and perfect for us. Love it.
