This healthy beef and broccoli stir-fry recipe has a Korean-inspired gochujang sauce. Because stir-fries cook up quickly, have all the ingredients prepped and next to the stove before you turn on the heat. Serve over brown rice or rice noodles.

  • To prepare stir-fry: Heat a 14-inch flat-bottom carbon-steel wok over high heat. (You'll know it's hot enough when a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact.) Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add steak and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.

  • Swirl in another 1 tablespoon oil; add broccoli and scallions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.

  • Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; add garlic and mushrooms. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more.

  • Return the steak to the wok. Add the reserved sauce and cook, gently stirring, until well coated and hot, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

This was delicious. I changed it up a little bit I used pork instead of beef since I'm working on a budget and the pork was on sale I also added more garlic and an onion into the recipe. It was great though. I'm a very inexperienced cook but I managed make this and served it to my roommates who all really liked the recipe as well! Read More

Very good... my only recommendation would be...depending on your spice level to go easier in the hot pepper sauce! Read More

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made a couple of changes 1) because I didn't have sherry on hand or enough lemon juice. And 2) common sense dictated that the stake should be thinly sliced (who's ever had stir fry with super thick slices large chunks or a while slab of beef? Not me!) and that I may need to add a bit of additional liquid to the dish after the sauce was added. Which I did (chicken stock.) Anyway the basics of this recipe are good. Cooking is all about being flexible and adjusting and this recipe need only slight adjustments/editing with that in mind I will certainly make this again. Read More

Amazing! My friend loved it. Also the sauce is a little bit too spicy. Read More

Beef was too tough The beef was nearly inedible. I should have known. Flank steak needs to be marinated to be tender. Plus the recipe doesn't describe how the beef should be cut. I suspect it needed to be thinly sliced but that didn't occur to me until afterwards. I wouldn't make this again. Cons: Tough beef sauce was watery Read More

This was very good. I used sambal oleck instead of gochujang. I used extra broccoli and cut out the rice and hanger steak instead of the flank steak. I did slice it thin. It was just the right amount of spicy and tangy. We were very full for well under 400 calories. Always a plus. Read More
