When I’m looking for a fast entree, I turn to this beef and broccoli stir-fry. It features a tantalizing sauce made with garlic and ginger. —Rosa Evans, Odessa, Missouri
1/2 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 cups fresh small broccoli florets
8 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
Directions
Mix the first 7 ingredients. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry beef until browned, 1-3 minutes. Remove from pan.
Stir-fry broccoli in remaining oil until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Add green onions; cook just until tender, 1-2 minutes. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add beef and heat through.

To soak up that delicious sauce, fluffy rice is the perfect side dish for beef and broccoli. Or try making cauliflower rice for a low-carb option! And if you really want to to complete your takeout-fakeout meal, you can try making homemade fortune cookies!
What adjustments could I make to this recipe?
You can adjust this recipe by loading it up with extra veggies like julienned red peppers or carrots, sesame seed topping, or fresh mushrooms. If you like things spicy, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
Can I freeze beef and broccoli?
Freeze cooled beef and broccoli in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary. Research contributed by Maggie Knoebel, Taste of Home Culinary Assistant

Great recipe! The only thing I will change in the future will be to boost the garlic to 5 cloves and the ginger to 1 tsp of ground ginger. Thank you for such an easy and delicious meal!

This is a very delicious recipe and the sauce tastes much better than other beef and broccoli recipes I've made. I'm a big mushroom fan, so I added cubed mushrooms at the same time I added the onion, and it came out great. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious but next time I would add a little more ginger. We did not taste much. My husband loved it though.

This was good but the sauce packet of beef and broccoli in the store is better without being salty. Also, I’ve always made beef and broccoli with a whole onion. That would have gave this rather bland recipe some extra flavor.
