👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Marinate the sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tsp olive oil. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the flavors soak in.
- 2 Bring water to a boil in a small pot, add the broccoli, and blanch for just 1-2 minutes so it stays bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
- 3 Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 4 Add the marinated beef and cook while stirring quickly for 2-3 minutes until the beef changes color and is cooked through—don't overcook, or it will become tough.
- 5 Pour in the beef broth, the remaining soy sauce, fish sauce, and low-calorie sweetener if using. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
- 6 Add the blanched broccoli and toss with the sauce for 1-2 minutes so it's evenly coated with flavor.
- 7 Add the green onion and sesame oil, stir briefly, then turn off the heat. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- 8 Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve warm while the broccoli is still crisp.
💡 Tips
• Slice the beef against the grain so it turns out more tender when cooked.
• Don't overcook the broccoli—just blanch it briefly so it stays crisp and retains its nutrients.
• Use high heat when stir-frying the beef so it cooks quickly without releasing too much liquid.
• You can substitute the beef with chicken fillet or shrimp for variety; just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
