Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Stephanie Gallagher
This beef and broccoli recipe is a perfect "go to" recipe for a busy weeknight. Deli roast beef makes this beef with broccoli stir fry quick and easy.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 pound broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp. chili garlic sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee)
  • 1 Tbsp. rice wine or dry sherry
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbsp. water
  • 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
  • 3/4 pound rare deli roast beef
  • 1 cup bean sprouts, washed and dried

Preparation:

  1. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet with a lid or a wok over medium heat.

  2. Add garlic and stir fry for 20-30 seconds. Watch carefully - lower heat if necessary to avoid letting the garlic burn.

  3. Turn heat up to medium-high. Add broccoli to the skillet. Sprinkle sugar over broccoli. Stir fry 1-2 minutes.

  4. Pour water over broccoli. Cover and cook 4-5 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender.

  5. Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce and rice wine in a small bowl. Pour over broccoli.

  6. Pour the cornstarch-water mixture into skillet or wok.

  7. Add mushrooms and roast beef. Stir fry 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender, and the sauce starts to thicken.

  8. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry another 1-2 minutes.
Serve over hot white or brown rice.
