Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• ½ cup beef broth
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Cooked white rice, for serving
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish

Method:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add a splash of water, cover, and steam for another 2 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
4. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Return the beef to the skillet.
5. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
6. Serve hot over steamed white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
