Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water. This is your stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
- 4
Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick whisk and pour it over the beef and broccoli. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 1-2 minutes.

Serve immediately over hot, fluffy white rice.
