Beef with Broccoli is a classic Chinese dish that combines tender strips of beef and vibrant broccoli in a savory sauce, creating a delicious balance of flavors and textures. This high-protein meal is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for lunch.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 200 grams, thinly sliced
• Broccoli florets - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Oyster sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Cooked rice - 200 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade. Add the sliced beef and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. While the beef is marinating, bring a pot of water to boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and pour in 100 ml of water. Stir well to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is heated through and the sauce thickens.
5. Serve the beef and broccoli hot over cooked rice.
