About this Recipe
This isn’t your average takeout beef and broccoli. This version uses a clever trick to tenderize the meat and a deeply savory, umami-packed sauce that clings to every bite. Sliced onions add sweetness and depth, and the broccoli is sautéed just enough to stay crisp-tender. It’s fast, flavorful, and hits every note: salty, sweet, rich, and aromatic.
It also adapts beautifully to infusion — simply swap in a cannabis-infused oil for the final stir-fry stage to create a medicated version perfect for elevated dining.
Ingredients
For the Beef:
½ lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
1 tsp baking soda (for tenderizing)
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cornstarch
For the Sauce:
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp chicken or beef bouillon powder
1 tbsp water
2 tsp cornstarch
1–2 tsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
For the Stir-Fry:
1½ cups broccoli florets, bite-size
½ medium yellow onion, sliced
2–3 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
1 tbsp infused olive oil (low dose/50mg per tablespoon) (optional)
Instructions
1. Tenderize the Steak
Sprinkle baking soda evenly over sliced steak and toss to coat. Let sit for 10–15 minutes. This step breaks down fibers, making the meat extra tender.
2. Marinate the Beef
Rinse off the baking soda and pat the steak dry. Add soy sauce, garlic powder, and cornstarch. Toss until the beef is well coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
3. Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, bouillon powder, water, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Set aside.
4. Fry the Beef
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (don’t overcrowd) and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until crispy and browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
5. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Sauté sliced onions for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
6. Combine Everything
Return the beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until everything is well-coated and the sauce has thickened and glazed the meat and vegetables.
Chef’s Notes
The baking soda trick works wonders but rinse it thoroughly to avoid any lingering flavor.
Don’t skip the fish sauce — it adds a subtle depth that makes this taste restaurant-quality.
Want to make it infused? Use a cannabis-infused sesame or vegetable oil for the final stir-fry stage and portion out dosage per guest accordingly.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion
If you’re infusing, mix your cannabis-infused olive oil at the last moment away from any heat. Start with 1 tablespoon and adjust based on your desired potency and tolerance. Always label infused versions clearly and keep them separate from non-infused options if serving a group.
