Pretty tasty (hi tumblr, this blog is mostly just random things I cook and my obsessions with crochet and blowing glass, it likely won’t be about hyraxes or axolotls unless I crochet them, sorry for the catfish blog title ;) I just thought it was a cute name)

Sunday Family Beef with Broccoli

A journey from treasured treat to weekly tradition

Growing up, beef with broccoli was a rare and special dish in our home. I still remember the first time my mom made it when I was a teenager. The tender slices of beef, the green broccoli, and that rich, savory sauce that brought everything together — it was an instant favorite.

But broccoli was a luxury in those days. Its price often meant we had to adjust our budget elsewhere, making this dish an occasional treat rather than a regular meal. There was always something bittersweet about savoring each bite, knowing it might be weeks or months before we'd have it again.

Years later, with improved circumstances, broccoli no longer strains our weekly grocery budget. What was once a rare indulgence has grown into the centerpiece of our Sunday family meals. Now, I take pride in preparing this dish for my own family, watching their faces light up just as mine did all those years ago. The recipe has remained largely unchanged — some traditions are perfect as they are.

Every Sunday, as the familiar aromas of garlic, ginger, and oyster sauce fill our kitchen, I'm reminded of how far we've come. This dish represents more than just a delicious meal – it's a celebration of family, of progress, and of the simple joys that connect our past to our present.

Ingredients

⅓ cup oyster sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

¾ pound beef round steak, cut into ⅛-inch thick strips

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed

1 thin slice of fresh ginger root

1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed

1 pound broccoli, cut into florets

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.

Add the beef strips to the marinade, tossing to coat each piece thoroughly.

Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the Broccoli

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add the broccoli florets and blanch for just 1 minute—they should brighten in color but remain crisp.

Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

3. Cook the Dish

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot.

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the blanched broccoli to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to brown slightly. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. When hot, add the marinated beef with all the marinade.

Stir-fry the beef for 2-3 minutes until the meat is no longer pink and the sauce begins to thicken.

Return the broccoli to the wok and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

4. Serve

Serve immediately over steamed rice. This recipe makes enough for 4 servings, perfect for a family Sunday dinner.

Chef's Notes

For extra tender beef, slice it against the grain and partially freeze it beforehand for easier cutting.

Don't overcook the broccoli during blanching—it will continue to cook when returned to the wok.

For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when stir-frying the garlic and ginger.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen overnight!
