Ingredients
  

1 pound lean beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced against the grain

4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or mushroom sauce for a vegetarian option)

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prepare the Broccoli: If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch the florets for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. If using frozen, simply microwave according to package instructions.

      Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

        Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, adding in the steamed broccoli. Pour in sesame oil and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Finish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

              Serve: Serve hot over a bed of brown rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
