Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) beef tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 cups cooked rice
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Make the sauce: In another bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the beef: Add the beef to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s browned and just cooked through.
- Add the sauce: Once the beef is cooked, pour in the honey garlic sauce. Stir well to coat the beef, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes sticky.
- Cook the broccoli: In a separate pot, steam or sauté the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until they are vibrant green and tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Once the broccoli is cooked, add it to the skillet with the beef. Toss together until everything is well combined and coated in the sticky sauce.
- Serve: Serve the beef and broccoli mixture over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For perfectly tender beef, slice against the grain. Use a non-stick skillet for easy cooking and cleanup.
