Description

Experience a delightful blend of flavors in this Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Extra Cheese, perfect for family dinners or quick meals.


Ingredients

  • Beef strips: Use flank steak or ribeye for tender strips that cook quickly.
  • Broccoli florets: Fresh broccoli is best, but frozen can be used in a pinch.
  • Cheese: Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack adds a creamy, melty finish.
  • Soy sauce: A staple for flavoring the beef and vegetables.
  • Garlic: The aromatics that provide depth of flavor.
  • Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a fragrant touch, enhancing the overall taste.
  • Sesame oil: Adds a nutty flavor to the dish.
  • Cornstarch: Helps thicken the sauce for a glossy finish.
  • Vegetable oil: Used for stir-frying the beef and veggies.

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until browned.
  3. Introduce broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring for another 2 minutes until they are vibrant green and tender yet crisp.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli, tossing everything together to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the stir-fry and cover for a minute, allowing the cheese to melt.
  6. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired!

Notes

  • Slice the beef thin for quick cooking.
  • Don’t overcook the broccoli to maintain its crunch.
  • Mix and match cheese types for unique flavors.
