Savory Broccoli and Beef Stir-Fry without Onion

1.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

2.Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3.In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

4.Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

5.In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth. Pour this sauce over the broccoli and stir well to combine.

6.Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, and add the sesame oil and red pepper flakes if using. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

7.Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
