How To Make beef and broccoli stir fry

  • 1
    In a medium bowl, combine together soy sauce, sugar, hoisin, ginger, sesame oil, beef broth, garlic and cornstarch; whisk until well incorporated. In a large Ziploc, place sliced steak and pour the sauce over. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least one hour.

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef in a bowl; set aside both beef and marinade. In a wok over medium heat, add oil and when hot, add beef and cook until the outsides are brown but very pink in the middle, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a clean bowl; set aside.
