INGREDIENTS

For the Beef Marinade:

1 lb Beef Chuckroll Strips

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp cornstarch

½ tsp baking soda (optional – for extra tenderness)

1 tsp sesame oil

For the Sauce:

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional, for sweetness)

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp brown sugar

½ cup beef broth or water

1 tsp grated ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Stir-Fry:

1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more if needed)

3 cups broccoli florets

2 tbsp water (for steaming)

Optional garnish: sesame seeds, sliced green onions

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and baking soda. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes while prepping the sauce and vegetables.
  2. Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, beef broth, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. Cook the broccoli: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of water, cover, and steam for 1–2 more minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sear the beef: In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Stir-fry the marinated beef in batches for 2–3 minutes, just until browned and mostly cooked through. Return all the beef to the pan.
  5. Combine everything: Add the sauce to the beef and bring to a simmer. Once the sauce starts to thicken (1–2 minutes), toss the broccoli back in and stir to coat evenly.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions for extra flavor.
