Ingredients
- 1 lb beef, flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water , or beef broth
- 1 stalk Green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- In another bowl, mix cornstarch with water or beef broth to create a slurry.
- Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl and pour half of the soy sauce mixture over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat your flat-top griddle to medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the griddle.
- Cook the marinated beef in a single layer, allowing it to sear and brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once the beef is cooked and has a nice sear, remove it from the griddle and set it aside.
- Add a bit more oil to the griddle if needed.
- Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry until they are bright green and tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked beef to the griddle with the broccoli.
- Pour the remaining soy sauce mixture and the cornstarch slurry over the beef and broccoli.
- Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot, ideally over a bed of steamed rice or noodles.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle, or Flat-Top Griddle
- Cooking Oil
Notes
Tips:
- Even Slicing: Ensure the beef is sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
- High Heat for Searing: The high heat of the griddle is perfect for getting a good sear on the beef and cooking the broccoli quickly to retain its crunch.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Griddle: Cook in batches if necessary to prevent steaming and to ensure each piece of beef and broccoli gets enough heat.
- Constant Stirring: Keep the ingredients moving on the griddle to cook evenly and to prevent burning.
