Sesame Beef with Roasted BroccoliThis Sesame Beef and Broccoli meal is so very easy to prepare, and is always a hit with my family.  You must start the prep-work the night before, but it does not take long to prep OR to cook.

Sesame Beef with Broccoli

The key to making this dish delicious though is getting the right meat.  You really don’t want cheap, fatty, chewy meat.  We seem to think that sirloin works best.  Also, be sure to start this dish the day before you plan to eat it…I think the overnight soak is important so the meat can suck up all those good juices in the marinade.  We like the sesame beef and roasted broccoli served over Basmati rice.  I have also prepared the meat by throwing it into the slow cooker for 3 or 4 hours until done, and that works well too.

Recipe: Sesame Beef Stir Fry with Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients:

1 lb. Sirloin Steak cut into skinny strips

4 Tbs. Soy Sauce

4 Tbs. Sugar

4 Tbs. Olive Oil

2 Tbs. Minced Garlic

2 Green Onions, chopped

2 Tbs. Sesame Seeds

Roasted Broccoli:

1 Bunch Broccoli

Olive Oil

Kosher Salt

1 Tbs. Minced Garlic

Directions:

The night before: Mix soy sauce, olive oil, garlic (2 Tbs), sugar, and onions in a large bowl.  Add strips of steak.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

At dinner time: cut the broccoli into bite sized pieces, put them in a glass casserole dish.  Drizzle just a bit of olive oil over broccoli, along with 1 Tbs. garlic and a sprinkle of kosher salt.  Stir it together.  Roast for 20-25 minutes at 450, or until desired crispness is reached.  Stir every 5 minutes or so.  We like the broccoli to be a little bit blackened.

While broccoli cooks, prepare rice of your choice.  Also cook meat in a frying pan over med-high heat until done, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes).  Add sesame seeds and stir, cooking for another minute or so.

When everything has cooked, put it together on your plate: rice + beef + broccoli AND enjoy!  Once it’s on the plate I like to sprinkle a few more sesame seeds on top as well.

If you do not want roasted broccoli, you could try this dish with Steamed Broccoli & Cauliflower, it is another one of our favorite side veggies.
