Ingredients
- 12 oz plant-based beef strips
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Minced garlic and grate the ginger. Cut broccoli into florets and thinly slice the green onions.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to form the sauce.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based beef strips and cook for 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sesame oil. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become tender but still crisp.
Step 5
Return the plant-based beef strips to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the ingredients, and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the broccoli and beef strips.
Step 7
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve hot, alongside steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
