Method
- In a small bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- In another small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: beef broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), brown sugar, ginger, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Give the prepared sauce mixture a quick whisk (as the cornstarch may have settled) and pour it over the beef and broccoli.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly. Serve immediately over rice if desired.
Notes
For a spicier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture. If you do not have oyster sauce, you can substitute it with an equal amount of additional soy sauce, though the flavor profile will change slightly.
