Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broccoli

  • 300g thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade and Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, brown sugar (natural), and the natural gelling agent dissolved in water until smooth. This sauce infuses the beef with flavor and gives the stir-fry a glossy finish.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Place thinly sliced beef into the sauce mixture and let it marinate for about 10 minutes, allowing the meat to absorb the savory flavors while staying juicy.
  3. Cook the Broccoli: While the beef marinates, blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside to retain crispness.
  4. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry quickly for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan to prevent overcooking.
  5. Combine and Finish Cooking: In the same pan, sauté minced garlic and green onions for about one minute until fragrant. Return beef and broccoli to the pan, pour in any remaining sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through and coated with the flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly for quick and even cooking.
  • Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan for better searing.
  • Use fresh broccoli for best texture and color.
  • Marinate beef briefly to enhance flavor without toughening the meat.
  • Dissolve the natural gelling agent in water before adding to avoid clumps in the sauce.
