Hearty Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry with Garlic Potatoes ingredients

• 1 lb sirloin steak
• 2 large russet potatoes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

How to make Hearty Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry with Garlic Potatoes

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup beef broth, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and optional 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil until smooth. Set the stir-fry sauce aside.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until they are golden brown and tender. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper during the last few minutes of cooking. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
3. Increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet. Add the thinly sliced sirloin steak in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
4. Add the 4 cups of broccoli florets to the skillet. If the skillet is dry, add a tiny splash of water (about 1-2 tablespoons). Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Stir in the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves with the broccoli and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Give the reserved stir-fry sauce a quick whisk, then pour it into the skillet with the broccoli. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Return the cooked beef and potatoes to the skillet, tossing everything gently to coat with the thickened sauce.
8. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just long enough to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
