Ingredients
- 8 ounces seitan or tofu
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 cups jasmine rice or brown rice, cooked
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your protein. If using tofu, press and remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes. If using seitan, cut into thin strips.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, water, and brown sugar to create the sauce. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu or seitan and stir-fry until golden and crisp on the edges, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 5
Return the tofu or seitan to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fry. Stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly and allow the sauce to thicken, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Garnish the stir-fry with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Step 7
Serve immediately over cooked jasmine or brown rice, and enjoy your Vegan Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry!
