A bright, savory stir-fry made with thinly sliced top sirloin and crisp-tender broccoli in a glossy sauce, ready in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound top sirloin steak, trimmed and sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Prep everything first: trim and thinly slice the steak across the grain. Measure and whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl.
  3. Add the broccoli. Stir frequently and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and let the pan reheat until shimmering. Spread the beef in a single layer. Let it sear without moving for 1 minute.
  5. Toss and flip the beef with tongs and cook about 1 more minute. It should still be slightly rosy inside to stay tender.
  6. Return the broccoli to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir constantly. The cornstarch will thicken the sauce in about 1 to 3 minutes. Coat everything evenly.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

For meal prep, cool leftovers within two hours and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
