Juicy and Healthy Beef and Broccoli

Beef and broccoli is a Chinese classic, and making this version at home is what got me to like steak if cooked properly. I saw a small piece of sirloin on sale at the store and wanted to try it out, and I'm very impressed with the results. Sauteed beef, broccoli, and a topping of sesame seeds sounds delicious in my book

Step 1

Heat your oven to 400F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Add broccoli to the pan, season with salt, pepper, and oil, and roast for 30 minutes. Do everything else as the broccoli cooks

Step 2

Take your meat and slice into 1/2" thick strips against the grain. Add to a bowl of cold water, and massage the meat for 30 seconds. The meat should turn gray, and the water should turn red with myagloben. Squeeze and drain the meat with a strainer for about 30 seconds, and add to a medium bowl

Step 3

Add in the marinade (salt, starch, baking soda, soy sauce, and sesame oil). Mix to fully coat the meat, and let marinate for 15 minutes

Step 4

Meanwhile, mix the sauce together in a glass: minced garlic, soy sauce, white vinegar ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. In a separate glass, prepare some cold water and cornstarch for a slurry

Step 5

Preheat a large stainless steel pan over medium high heat. Add in the beef, and cook for about 2 minutes per side, just until browned and not overcooked. Remove from the pan

Step 6

Add in the sauce, broccoli, and about half of the slurry. Deglaze the pan, cook for about 2 minutes, and add more slurry if you want to thicken the sauce more. Add back in the beef

Step 7

Optionally serve over rice, and top with sesame seeds
