Serving: 4 servings

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

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

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Slice the sirloin steak into thin strips against the grain to help with tenderness.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Cook the entire mixture for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with optional toasted sesame seeds.
