Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth, set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced sirloin beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, and 2 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and fragrant.
Step 4: Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture, and toss everything together. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
