  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 12 tsp vegetable oil

  • Instructions

    1. In a bowl, toss sliced beef with 2 tsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and sesame oil; marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    2. In a separate bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, beef broth, sugar or honey, and cornstarch slurry; set aside.

    3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch broccoli florets for 1–2 minutes until bright green; drain and set aside.

    4. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat; add marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until just browned; remove and set aside.

    5. Add garlic and ginger to the hot wok; stir-fry for 20–30 seconds until fragrant.

    6. Return beef to the wok, add blanched broccoli, and pour in the sauce; stir continuously over high heat for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything.

    7. Serve immediately over steamed rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
