Easy Honey Mustard Beef Broccoli Stir Fry Bursting with Bold Flavor
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, lightly steamed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with water
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
- Blanch broccoli: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green and just tender. Immediately drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking.
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Stir in a cornstarch slurry to create a glossy, clingy sauce that coats the beef.
- Heat Oil: Warm sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
- Sear Beef: Add thinly sliced sirloin in a single layer; cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until edges brown. Flip pieces and cook another 1–2 minutes until just cooked through and tender.
- Toss Broccoli: Add blanched broccoli back to the pan; stir-fry with beef for about 1 minute.
- Add Sauce: Pour honey mustard sauce over beef and broccoli; stir continually for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Garnish & Serve: Transfer stir fry to a warm plate; top with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
