Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin sliced thinly
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 0.5 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Equipment

  • large skillet or wok
  • medium bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add broccoli florets to the same skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly. Stir in the sesame oil.
  4. Serve immediately with rice or noodles, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in a tablespoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of cornstarch for 15 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your sweetness preference. You can also add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
