Ingredients
- 1 pound Sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Water
- 4 cups Broccoli florets, chopped
- 1/2 cup Vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Slice the sirloin steak into thin strips against the grain to help with tenderness.
- Add the beef strips to a large plastic bag and pour 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch and the salt. Shake the bag to mix the ingredients until the beef is well coated.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and stir-fry for about 4 minutes until it is no longer pink. Remove the beef from the pan, place it in a bowl, and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the skillet or wok and cook for 1 minute until it is very aromatic but not burnt. Carefully add the water and the broccoli. Continue cooking the broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes until it is bright green and more tender.
- While the broccoli is cooking, whisk together well in a small dish the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Add this soy sauce and the beef back to the skillet.
- Cook the entire mixture for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with optional toasted sesame seeds.
