Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. You can add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli if needed.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame oil and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
