Ingredients Needed

• 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 1 head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Cooked rice for serving

Step By Step Making

1. In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, beef broth, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. This will be your sauce.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches) and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn bright green and slightly tender. You can add a splash of water (about 2 tablespoons) and cover for a minute to help steam the broccoli if needed.
6. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet with the broccoli. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
7. Return the seared beef to the skillet. Add the sesame oil and toss everything together to coat the beef and broccoli evenly with the sauce. Cook for another minute until the beef is heated through.
8. Serve the Beef and Broccoli immediately over hot cooked rice.
