Chinese Beef and Broccoli (Easy One-Pan Takeout at Home)
A quick and flavorful one-pan Chinese beef and broccoli stir-fry that delivers tender beef, crisp broccoli, and savory sauce—perfect for weeknight dinners or when craving homemade takeout.
Ingredients
Main
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin thinly sliced against the grain
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil e.g., vegetable or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or broth as substitute
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.5 teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
- 0.25 cup water or beef broth
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while prepping the broccoli and sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and 1/4 cup water. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for about 1 minute per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Stir in garlic (and ginger if using), then toss in the broccoli. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges start to char slightly.
- Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together until evenly coated. Let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
Slice beef thinly across the grain for tenderness. Use a hot pan to avoid steaming the beef. Blanch broccoli just until tender-crisp. Stir the sauce well before adding. For gluten-free, use tamari and GF oyster sauce. Vegan? Use tofu and mushroom sauce.
