Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) beef, preferably sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional but recommended)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Slice the beef thinly, mince the garlic, rinse the broccoli florets, and mix honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl for the sauce.
- Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic and broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add a splash of water if needed to steam slightly.
- Combine and finish: Return the beef to the skillet with broccoli. Pour honey garlic sauce over and stir to coat. Add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Notes
- Serve over steamed jasmine rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers.
