The ingredients needed for this dish are simple yet very effective for creating an amazing dish. Your family will wonder if you picked up P.F. Chang’s Mongolian beef and broccoli and served it as your own. For exact measurements, scroll to the recipe card below.

Flank Steak: The perfect protein to absorb all of the amazing flavors and when cut and cooked properly stays tender. Broccoli Florets: Adds healthy vitamins and minerals we need in our diet. It is also a great vegetable to absorb the sauce and give the perfect tender crunchy texture. Vegetable Oil: For marinating, cooking and sautéing the beef and broccoli.

Marinade

Low-Sodium Soy Sauce: Gives the steak a wonderful salty savory flavor. Vegetable Oil: Adds moisture and helps distribute the flavors in the marinade. Brown Sugar: Give the beef a hint of sweet to perfectly contrast the salty flavors. Minced Garlic: Provides the most aromatic savory flavor that makes every dish so yummy! Fresh Grated Ginger: I love fresh ginger, it adds a bright zesty flavor you can’t get from anything else!

Sauce

Low-Sodium Soy Sauce: Gives the sauce the umami salty flavor you expect from any Asian dish. Water: Thins the sauce and allows it to evenly coat everything in the dish. Hoisin Sauce: Adds a bit of tangy sweetness, and a thick texture helping the sauce stick to everything. Buy it from the store or make my homemade hoisin sauce. Brown Sugar: Gives the perfect amount of sweet to contrast all of the savory. Minced Garlic: Provides a punch of flavor that sets this dish apart. Fresh Grated Ginger: Fresh is preferred, but powdered will also work. Cornstarch: Acts as a thickening agent to get your sauce to the perfect consistency. Salt and Pepper: To taste!
