Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 12 oz thinly sliced beef sirloin with 1 tsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper in a bowl; set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry with the beef for 2 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
