Start by marinating the thinly sliced beef in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Toss the beef until it’s evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. This simple marinade will help tenderize the beef and create that melt-in-your-mouth texture.

While the beef marinates, mix the sauce. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and ½ cup beef broth. Stir in the garlic and fresh ginger for a bold, aromatic base. Set the sauce aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender. Be careful not to overcook them—they should still have a bit of crunch. Once done, remove the broccoli from the pan and set it aside.

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s beautifully seared but still tender.

Once the beef is cooked, return the broccoli to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir everything together until it’s well coated.

To thicken the sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly add this to the pan while stirring. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become silky.

Once the sauce has thickened and everything is well combined, serve your beef and broccoli over a bed of rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions for extra flavor and color.
