Instructions

Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic and ginger.

Place the beef in a Ziploc bag (or glass bowl), pouring in half of the sauce mixture to coat the beef. Marinate for either 20 minutes on the counter or covered overnight in the fridge.

Whisk the cornstarch and water together and add to the remaining sauce mixture.

Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat, add 2 teaspoons oil and add the beef. Cook for 4 minutes and remove beef to a clean bowl.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and cook the broccoli for 2 minutes.

Add the beef back into the pan. Make a well in the center and pour in the sauce. Cook until the sauce is thick and everything is heated through, about 2 minutes.

Serve over brown rice.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Slice Against the Grain 🔪
Cut your beef against the grain into thin strips (¼-inch) before cooking to break down muscle fibers and ensure maximum tenderness and faster, more even cooking in the wok.
Cornstarch Velveting Technique ✨
Coat your sliced beef lightly with cornstarch mixed with soy sauce 15-20 minutes before cooking to create a silky, restaurant-quality texture that locks in juices during high-heat stir-frying.
Prep All Ingredients First (Mise en Place) 📋
Have ginger, garlic, broccoli, and sauce pre-measured and ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying happens too fast to chop mid-cook and prevents overcooking your vegetables.
Infuse Oil with Aromatics 🌶️
Toast minced ginger and garlic in hot oil for 15-20 seconds before adding other ingredients to bloom their flavors and create a deeply aromatic base for the entire dish.
Don't Overcrowd the Wok 🍳
Cook beef in batches on very high heat rather than crowding the pan, which causes steaming instead of searing and prevents the development of flavorful caramelization.
