Ingredients
1 and 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 bunches fresh broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. The beef should reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining sesame oil to the same wok over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sliced red onion, then stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the wok along with the reserved sauce mixture. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes, coating all ingredients evenly with the sauce and heating through.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter and serve immediately.
Comments
All seven ingredients are stocked at any major Charlotte grocer, with no special trips required; even sesame oil and rice vinegar are standard at Harris Teeter and Walmart. The cost per serving runs around $3.50–$4.00 driven mainly by beef sirloin, making this a mid-range weeknight protein. The stated 35 minutes glosses over prep—slicing the beef thin, cutting broccoli, mincing ginger, and readying the sauce likely adds 10–12 minutes to active time, bringing the realistic cook time to 45 minutes, though the actual cooking is fast. It's a solid family dish that doesn't demand babysitting once the stir-fry hits the pan, and leftovers reheat well in a skillet the next day, though broccoli will soften slightly.
