Steps
1
Slice the beef thinly against the grain. In a small bowl, toss the beef with 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
2
Heat 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
3
Add remaining 1.5 tablespoons oil to the pan. Stir-fry the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
4
Push the broccoli to the side of the pan. Add minced ginger and garlic to the empty space, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, water, rice vinegar, and brown sugar.
6
Pour the sauce into the pan and stir everything together. Return the beef to the pan and toss for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over cooked rice.
