Ingredients Needed for Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry:

• Water (1 Cup)
• Cornstarch (3 Tablespoons)
• Garlic Powder (1/2 Teaspoon)
• Round Steak (1 Pound)
• Olive Oil (2 Tablespoons)
• Broccoli Florets (4 Cups)
• Yellow Onion (1)
• Small Carrots (2)
• Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce (1/3 Cup)
• Brown Sugar (1 Tablespoon)
• Ground Ginger (1 Teaspoon)
• Rice

Cooking Equipment Needed for Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry:

• Mixing Bowls
• Large Skillet
• Cutting Board
• Kitchen Knife
• Rice Maker

Before you start cooking, you’ll need to cut your veggies: the broccoli is cut into florets, the onion is cut in half and sliced, and the carrots are cut into thin sticks.

You’ll also need to prepare your round steak by cutting it into thin strips.

To start cooking your Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry recipe, in a small bowl, you’ll combine cornstarch, water, and garlic powder to make a smooth coating for the beef strips. You’ll coat the beef strips with this mixture and then cook them in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Once the beef strips are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Next, you’ll get your sauce ready. In a small bowl, combine ingredients for the sauce: soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, the remaining cornstarch, and water. Set aside the sauce aside while you get your vegetables started.

Place the broccoli, onion, carrots, and a bit of water to the skillet. Cook the vegetables over medium heat and stirring occasionally until crisp-tender. Add the beef back to skillet with vegetables and pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until sauce thickens. Once the sauce is thickened, it’s ready to serve!
