Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean beef steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium zucchini, spiralized into zoodles
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover with a lid and let steam for 2 minutes to become tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté with the broccoli for another minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Then, pour this sauce mixture over the broccoli and garlic in the skillet.
- Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together until the beef and broccoli are well coated with the sauce. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Meanwhile, prepare the zoodles by spiralizing the zucchini with a spiralizer or using a vegetable peeler if you don’t have a spiralizer.
- Add the zoodles to the skillet and gently toss with the beef and broccoli mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the zoodles are heated through but still firm.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
