Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli
Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli combines thinly sliced flank steak coated with cornstarch, crisp-tender broccoli florets, and a homemade teriyaki-style sauce featuring soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir-frying the ingredients creates a flavorful dish with a thickened glaze, balancing savory, sweet, and subtly spicy notes. It works for quick dinners or make-ahead freezer meals.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs flank steak thinly sliced - I buy mine pre-sliced to save time
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup soybeans
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 cups broccoli fresh or frozen, florets
- 4 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
- Add sliced steak and cornstarch into gallon-sized freezer bag. Shake bag until all sides of steak pieces are coated. Seal bag, removing any excess air.
- In a small bowl combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, sesame oil and red pepper flakes.
MAKE IT NOW:
- Add 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable to a large wok or skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add steak pieces and stir-fry, separating the pieces and until golden and crispy on the edges on them, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add broccoli, cook 1-2 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Add sauce, and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until sauce slightly thickens. Serve.
MAKE IT A FREEZER MEAL:
- Label a new gallon-sized freezer bag with the recipe name.
- Use it to toastier the steak with cornstarch, add the sauce and broccoli, toss to combine and seal the bag.
- Place flat in the freezer and freeze.
THAW:
- Thaw quickly by running under warm water until you can break the pieces up
- Or place the whole thing in the fridge overnight.
COOKING AFTER THAWING:
- Add 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil over to a large wok or skillet over medium high heat.
- Pour everything from the ziplock bag into the wok, stir-fry, separating pieces and stirring constantly until the steak pieces have some golden crispy edges on them, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
