Quick Beef with Broccoli

This classic beef and broccoli stir-fry is a fantastic option for a nutritious midweek meal when time is short. By using thinly sliced sirloin and tender broccoli florets, you create a high-protein dish that is both satisfying and full of savoury umami flavour. The light cornflour coating on the beef ensures the meat stays tender while helping to create a glossy, rich sauce that clings perfectly to every ingredient.

As a versatile high-protein dinner, this recipe is ideal for those looking for a balanced meal after a busy day. The combination of fresh garlic and soy sauce provides a fragrant base that pairs beautifully with fluffy white rice or even wholewheat noodles. Garnished with a few sprigs of fresh coriander, it offers a fresh and homemade alternative to a traditional takeaway.

How to make Quick Beef with Broccoli

Toss together cornflour, salt, pepper, and beef in a bowl until meat is coated.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry beef until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to another bowl and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.

Add remaining tablespoon oil to wok along with broccoli and garlic and stir-fry over moderately high heat until broccoli is just tender and garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes.

Add soy sauce and water and bring to a boil. Return meat to skillet and cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes.
