Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
The Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry is a flavorful dish featuring tender beef slices, fresh broccoli, and savory sauce. The dish starts with a homemade sauce comprising soy sauce, beef broth, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Thinly sliced beef is marinated in a portion of the sauce, then cooked in batches until browned. Meanwhile, broccoli and onions are sautéed before being combined with cooked noodles and the remaining sauce. The cooked beef is added back to the pot, and everything is tossed together before serving, topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
