Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

4 cups broccoli florets

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 cup beef broth (low sodium)

Cooked brown rice or quinoa (for serving)

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

      Cook the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they start to become tender but still bright green.

        Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the broccoli. Stir-fry for an additional minute until fragrant.

          Combine Everything: Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Add the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, beef broth, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the beef and broccoli.

            Simmer and Thicken: Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

              Serve: Serve the beef and broccoli hot over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra pop of flavor.
