Use a lean cut of beef for this stir fry recipe. I love using flank steak – cut it into uniform, thin strips so it cooks through evenly.
Fresh broccoli is best for this recipe! If using frozen broccoli, increase the cook time in step 4 – frozen broccoli will take longer to cook through.
Use any kind of large nonstick skillet or wok for this stir fry recipe.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Serving Suggestions
Naturally high in protein, pair beef and broccoli with:
- Your favorite kind of white, brown, or fried rice
- Cauliflower rice
- Spring rolls or egg rolls (try these air fryer egg rolls!)
This is such a great make ahead recipe – I love enjoying leftovers throughout the week!
Tips!
- Cut across the grain when slicing the flank steak.
- Instead of soy sauce, use an equal amount of tamari or liquid aminos.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
- Sesame seeds are completely optional but they add a wonderful crunch!
