Instructions

1. Cook Rice

  4. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp and slightly charred around the edges.

2. Prep the Beef:

Pro Tips

  • Start the Broccoli First: Roasting the broccoli first lets you prep and cook the beef while it crisps, saving time.

  • Sauté for Extra Flavor: Garlic and ginger sautéed before adding the sauce give the dish a rich depth of flavor.

  • Perfect Thickness: The cornstarch in the sauce makes it velvety and ensures every bite is coated.

  • Adjust the Heat: Love spice? Add an extra tablespoon of chili garlic sauce. Prefer mild? Reduce it to 1-2 tablespoons.
